Virtual 3D planning and guidance of mandibular distraction osteogenesis.
Comput Aided Surg. 2006; (2): 51-62
We present a system for 3D planning and pre-operative rehearsal of mandibular distraction osteogenesis procedures. Two primary architectural components are described: a planning system that allows geometric bone manipulation to rapidly explore various modifications and configurations, and a visuohaptic simulator that allows both general-purpose training and preoperative, patient-specific procedure rehearsal. We provide relevant clinical background, then describe the underlying simulation algorithms and their application to craniofacial procedures.
