Abstract:Objective: Internal fixation with intramedullary nails is a gold standard for the treatment of femoral shaft fractures. However, both the mismatch between intramedullary nails and the medullary cavity and inaccurate positioning of entry points will lead to deformation of intramedullary nails after implantation. The study aimed to determine a suitable intramedullary nail with an optimal entry point for a specific patient based on centerline adaptive registration.Method: A homotopic thinning algorithm is employe… Show more
