A new SC-based method optimizes flexor-tendon repair techniques using experimental and clinical data. This approach offers a rigorous computational process, unlike the Taguchi method, for complex medical decision-making.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Decision Science

Background:

  • Optimal flexor-tendon repair technique selection is complex, influenced by experimental data, clinical surveys, and variable circumstances.
  • Existing methods like the Taguchi method may require ad-hoc decisions when objectives conflict.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel SC-based multi-objective decision-making method for determining optimal flexor-tendon repair techniques.
  • To compare the SC-based method with the Taguchi method for flexor-tendon repair decision-making.

Main Methods:

  • The study employed a SC-based multi-objective decision-making framework.
  • Fuzzy-set representations were utilized to analyze information categories and their performance.
  • The method was applied to experimental and clinical survey data under variable circumstances.
