Virtual Simulation for Interactive Visualization of 3D Fracture Fixation Biomechanics

In the surgical fixation of fractures, proper biomechanical stability is key in preventing clinical complications including poor fracture healing, residual deformity, loss of fixation, or implant failure. Stability is largely influenced by treatment decisions made by the surgeon. The interplay of surgeon-controlled variables and their effect on the three-dimensional (3D) biomechanics of a fracture fixation construct are often not intuitive, and current training methods do not facilitate a deep understanding of these interactions.
