Computer Vision and 3D Printing Can Aid in the Insertion of Intramedullary Nails for Long Bone Fractures
Intramedullary nails are one of the fundamental tools used in the fixation of long bone fractures. The nail is inserted into the center of the damaged bone and has transverse screws at both ends that ensure a firm connection with the fractured bone in various planes. However, securing the distal end of the nail represents a relatively complicated and time-consuming procedure, where maximum accuracy is crucial. According to a group of Moroccan scientists, current procedures for targeting and inserting nails are not sufficiently effective. In a…
