Development of IT technologies in surgical treatment of fractures (literature review)

Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology, especially those related to computing and data processing, creates more and more directions for the development of surgical techniques and imaging methods in modern medical practice. Since the beginning of the first decade of the 2000s, surgical practitioners have increasingly begun to use the capabilities of digital technologies in order to most effectively carry out invasive interventions. The purpose of the research: based on an analysis of modern literature, to assess the current state of development of IT technologies in surgical treatment of fractures. Materials and methods: a search was conducted in open electronic scientific databases PubMed and Russian scientific electronic library eLibrary using keywords and phrases: fractures, digital technologies, surgical treatment. Results: based on the results of numerous both domestic and foreign publications, it can be concluded that IT technologies are actively being introduced into the clinical practice of trauma specialists and have great potential for the surgical treatment of fractures of various types. Conclusion: The use of computing technologies to develop algorithms for patient management, computer modeling of surgical intervention, and 3D printing can improve the surgical treatment of fractures, make treatment more individual and patient-oriented, which has led to the rapid development of this area of development in recent decades. Evaluation and analysis of data is the future and a step in all medical science and practice. Information technologies will in the near future provide a breakthrough and a radically new level of healthcare development.
