Augmented reality fluoroscopy simulation of the guide-wire insertion in DHS surgery: a proof of concept study
BH Van Duren, K Sugand, R Wescott… - Medical engineering & …, 2018 - Elsevier
Background Hip fractures contribute to a significant clinical burden globally with over 1.6
million cases per annum and up to 30% mortality rate within the first year. Insertion of a
dynamic hip screw (DHS) is a frequently performed procedure to treat extracapsular neck of
femur fractures. Poorly performed DHS fixation of extracapsular neck of femur fractures can
result in poor mobilisation, chronic pain, and increased cut-out rate requiring revision
surgery. A realistic, affordable, and portable fluoroscopic simulation system can improve …
