Utility of image fusion system for the fracture and fracture malunion management will be evaluated.
The fracture and malunion patients need osteosynthesis or osteotomy will be recruited. Image fusion group utilizes 3D preoperative planning and image fusion system. Control group utilizes only 3D preoperative planning. The age, sex, and fracture types will be matched between groups. In both groups, 3D preoperative planning will be performed in order to determine reduction, placement and choices of implants. In the image fusion group, the outline of planned image will be displayed on the monitor overlapping with fluoroscopy image during surgery. Reductions, implant choices/positions, and clinical outcomes will be evaluated.
