Abstract
A Windows based interactive graphical computer program is developed to provide a vision of positioning the Ilizarov frames for lower extremity deformity correction surgery. The program retrieves the preoperative planning data created from our LegPerfect TM program and plots the planning results on the screen, see Figure 1. At the same time, it loads pre-obtained cross-sectional image at the level of selected ring position. The selected ring is overlaid on this image centered on the approximated bone axis. User can work on this graphical environment to move the ring on top of the cross-sectional image and install the wires on the ring. Together with our preoperative planning program, this program can give better vision on how to accomplish the optimal ring and wire positioning.
