Preliminary Application Of Mimics Software In Preoperative Planning Of Trimalleolar Fracture

PurposeThrough modeling,resetting and simulating the CT image data on 20 cases of trimalleolar fracture by a software,Mimics,to make personalized preoperative plans and apply in clinical operation--According to the results of surgery,AOFAS excellent ankle foot score and the pictures of postoperative X-ray to discuss the significance of the application of the software in the preoperative plan of trimalleolar fracture.MethodChoose 20 cases of trimalleolar fracture provided by Changzhou first people’s hospital,by Optima CT660 64 row helical CT scan ankle fracture end to obtain DICOM data,using Mimics 17.0 software to process DICOM data,through the image segmentation,select threshold,3D regional growing technology steps to set trimalleolar fracture 3D model,to do the design of fracture assessment,fracture simulation reduction and operation scheme on built 3D models,the imaging function will be evaluated according to the preoperative plan.Result1.The Mimics software was used to reconstruct the 3D model of trimalleolar fracture,a clear 3D image of the trimalleolar fracture was obtained on the computer.2.By using the simulated operation module and transparent function,the simulated reset,the internal fixation can be performed on the 3D-model.3.By using Mimics to facilitate the implementation of surgery.ConclusionMimics software trimalleolar fracture 3D model reconstruction is helpful for clinicians with more accurate classification and diagnosis of trimalleolar fracture,and provide better preoperative evaluation for clinical treatment and operation plan.The personalized preoperative plans based on this software can provide guidance for the clinical surgery,it preliminary showed that trimalleolar fracture reconstruction of Mimics software application value in the preoperative planning.
