Both studies showed that the computer system is simple to use. The planning system allowed the surgeon to perform multiple simulations of the surgical procedure preoperatively, which were used to optimize the plan and identify potential problems during realignment. The use of a fixation-based technique avoided the complexity of attempting to guide the surgeon to realign a bone fragment in six degrees of freedom of correction, and eliminated the use of X-ray fluoroscopy for achieving the alignment.
