Abstract

Objective To explore the virtual reconstruction technique of calcaneal malunion digitization and the feasibility of the method applied in the design of orthopedic surgery.     Methods CT scan images of ipsilateral, contralateral foot and ankle of calcaneal malunion cases were imported to Mimics14.0 for reconstruction of the 3D model. on the basis of the reconstruction and measurement of 3D model, virtual osteotomy and digital fixation surgery were designed. After the digital surgery, anatomical parameters were compared to ipsilateral calcaneus. if the results are acceptable, then surgery was operated. Results    3D visualization model of the calcaneal malunion was constructed and anatomical parameters were measured and then 3D physical model was also printed by rapid prototyping machine. Personal computer could be used to perform virtual osteotomy and internal fixation. Conclusions   Digital virtualized reconstructive technique could be used to provide precisely the anatomical and radiological data for judgment of the calcaneal malunion and decision of clinical diagnosis and treatment methods, and it also holds great promise for preoperative design of calcaneal malunion surgery.
