Abstract
The Pacifix II project is a continuation of the results of the Pacifix I project. During the Pacifix I project we developed a framework to segment and reduce (put back together) the fragments of a distal radius bone fracture. In the Pacifix II project we will develop software tools to automatically prepare the surgery. The software will determine which surgical plate is the best suited for the patient and his fracture by virtually fitting the plate on the reduced bone. It will generate a pre-operative plan with an optimized position of the plate. Furthermore, the position and length of the screws will be optimized. To reduce the time in the operation room, surgical guides that are a physical template of the plate, screws and bone will be developed. Therefore, there is only one way to fixate the plate and screws to the bone.
