Biometrical approach in the pelvis surgical reconstructive treatment

Biometrical approach in the pelvis surgical reconstructive treatment The surgical reconstructive treatment in the pelvis area is induced mostly by the bone tumour resection.

Abstract

The surgical reconstructive treatment in the pelvis area is induced mostly by the bone tumour resection. This paper presents a new method for computer-assisted reconstructive surgery-planning based on the pelvis statistical shape model. A clinical pelvis reconstruction case will demonstrate the usefulness and robustness of the statistical shape models in the oncologic surgery planning. In addition, a quantitative evaluation of the matching quality will be given. By creating the statistical shape model, we get a mathematically defined mean pelvic geometry. Knowledge about the statistical pelvic shape can have wide application in pelvimetry.
