PREOPERATIVE PLANNING OF CORRECTION OF CRANIAL DEFORMATIONS USING DISTRACTORS
Abstract eng: This paper presents a procedure of computer aided engineer's support of the treatment of craniosynostosis using distractors. The research encompassed morphological measurements of the skull before and after the surgical procedure, the FEM analysis and the assessment of effects of the correction of cranial deformations caused by the premature fusion of the lambdoid suture. The results of simulations enabled a 3D visualization of the surgical procedure using a distractor as well as the determination of optimum parameters of the operation and guidelines for medical doctors.
