Abstract:
Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) scan images are useful as they can provide information essential for surgical support, particularly in orthopedic surgery. In the case of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, a 3D CT scan is important in preoperative simulation. Furthermore, it is associated with a reduced risk of revision surgery because the angle of the foramen magnum changes with the femoral muscle mass. However, the CT scan system geometry has several limitations. For example, the patient's posture is limited during the procedure. Herein, we report an original CT scan method and 3D imaging process for surgical support of the ACL.
