2D projection-based software application for mobile C-arms optimises wire placement in the proximal femur – An experimental study

Software‐based method for automated intraoperative planning of Schoettle Point in surgical medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction: A comparative validation study

“…There were no significant differences in precision and time efficiency between investigators. Other studies on 2D‐assisted K‐wire placement with software‐based support have already shown that, depending on the field of application, higher accuracy can be achieved while reducing fluoroscopy and surgery time 34 . A clinical use test has yet to show whether comparable results can be achieved in a clinical setting with the software prototype we evaluated.…”

Wire Placement in the Sustentaculum Tali Using a 2D Projection-Based Software Application for Mobile C-Arms: Cadaveric Study

“…As a preparatory study, we investigated the K-wire software in artificial bone models of the proximal femur. 25 Number of placement attempts, operating time, and fluoroscopy time were significantly reduced, accompanied by a significant improvement in precision compared to the conventional technique. The improvements in process data (number of attempts, operating time, and precision) due to the use of K-wire in the proximal femur were now reproduced in this study.…”

“…The trends in process parameters for the inexperienced surgeon coincide with those in our previous study on artificial bone models involving a larger number of cases. 25 Another limitation is the study setting. Although anatomical specimens with realistic consistency were available, no fracture conditions were simulated.…”

“…18 As a preparatory study, we had conducted a series of tests with the K-wire software application in 20 artificial models of the proximal femur. 25 Due to use of the software, we had found good integration into the operative procedure and a reduction in operating time, fluoroscopy time and drilling attempts, accompanied by increased precision. No distinction had been made between experienced or inexperienced surgeon.…”
