Computer assisted orthopaedic surgical system for insertion of distal locking screws in intra-medullary nails: a valid and reliable navigation system. International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, 1(4), 34-44. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcs.54

The insertion of distal locking screws is a difficult task in intra-medullary (IM) nailing operations of long bones and contributes a significant proportion to the overall operating time. The current technique to insert these screws uses numerous flu...

Implicit planar curve and surface fitting to a set of scattered points plays an important role in solving a wide variety of problems occurring in computer graphics modelling, computer graphics animation, and computer assisted surgery. The fitted impl... Read More about Implicit fitting using radial basis functions with ellipsoid constraint.

Recovery of distal hole axis in intramedullary nail trajectory planning (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhu, Y., Phillips, R., Griffiths, J. G., Viant, W., Mohsen, A., & Bielby, M. Recovery of distal hole axis in intramedullary nail trajectory planning

In intramedullary nail (IMN) surgical operations, one of the main efforts for surgeons is to find the axes of two distal holes. Two distal holes on an IMN, which are inside the intramedullary canal of a patient's femur, can only be seen in a lateral...
