“…Hak and Rose note: ‘…one of the most important aspects of preoperative planning is the advance stepwise thought process that is essentially a dress rehearsal of the operation. The “thinking” part of the process is more important than the quality of the final preoperative drawing.’ This is endorsed by the work of McDonald and Orlick and McDonald et al ., who found robust links between strong mental strategies and high performance among 33 surgeons. Overall, 73% of surgeons interviewed reported using mental imagery and stepwise mental rehearsal in their preparation, but this was said to be uniformly extensive in the most elite surgeons …”

Preoperative preparation can be thought of as a socio-material ontology requiring a surgeon to negotiate imaginal, verbal and physical interactions with people, materials and his or her own mental imagery. Actor-network theory is useful for making sense of these interactions and for allowing surgeons to interrogate their own preparative processes. We recommend supervisors to use a form of preoperative plan as a teaching tool and to encourage trainees to develop their own preparatory skills. The ability of a trainee to demonstrate sound preparation is an indicator of readiness to perform a procedure.

The objective of this article is to highlight the salient points of preoperative planning, intraoperative considerations for fracture reduction methods, and implant fixation when treating distal diaphyseal or diametaphyseal tibia fractures with an intramedullary nail. Through review of the necessary preoperative considerations, techniques available to hold and maintain a reduction, and lastly how to maximize the selected implant of intramedullary nail, we hope to assist the treating surgeon in simplifying these sometimes complex fractures into manageable injuries that can be treated successfully with an intramedullary implant.

“…Nonetheless, the surgeon is unable to visualize the resultant model in a 3D space. Due to the impossibility to convert a 3D structure into 2D without losing details, it is impossible to analyze the fracture (if there is one) with detail [3]. After these steps the surgeon can generate a report to use at the surgery.…”

The preparation of a plan is essential for a surgery to take place in the best way possible and also for shortening patient's recovery times. In the orthopedic case, planning has an accentuated significance due to the close relation between the degree of success of the surgery and the patient recovering time. It is important that surgeons are provided with tools that help them in the planning task, in order to make it more reliable and less time consuming. In this paper, we present a 3D Computed Tomography based solution and its implementation as an OsiriX plugin for orthopedic surgery planning. With the developed plugin, the surgeon is able to manipulate a three-dimensional isosurface rendered from the selected imaging study (a CT scan). It is possible to add digital representations of physical implants (surgical templates), in order to evaluate the feasibility of a plan. These templates are STL files generated from CAD models. There is also the feature to extract new isosurfaces of different voxel values and slice the final 3D model according to a predefined plane, enabling a 2D analysis of the planned solution. Finally, we discuss how the proposed application assists the surgeon in the planning process in an alternative way, where it is possible to three-dimensionally analyze the impact of a surgical intervention on the patient.
