Reduction Planning Using ZedTrauma for Long Bone Shaft Fractures of the Extremities

Objective

In comminuted long bone shaft fractures of the extremities due to occupational injury, examine the bone fragment reduction procedure preoperatively.

Subjects

• Cases: 6 cases
• Fracture site: humeral shaft (3 cases), femoral shaft (3 cases)
• Injury type: Comminuted fracture

Evaluation Items

• Bone fragment reduction procedure
• Plate selection and screw insertion trajectory
• Agreement between the preoperative plan and intraoperative reduction

Results

Understanding the complex fragment alignment preoperatively facilitated surgical planning.

Discussion

Preoperative 3D visualization of the complex fragment alignment is expected to reduce surgical time and improve reduction accuracy.
