Desarrollo de técnicas de obtención de patrones de fractura ósea y su aplicación sobre modelos óseos

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to extend the knowledge obtained from a bone fracture and to apply this information to the generation of fracture patterns. In order to interact with these patterns, a series of representation models and tools have been defined to allow the digitisation, generation, manipulation, classification and validation, both manual and automatic, of these models. Additionally, these patterns have been used to improve the algorithms for the automatic reduction of bone fractures, with the consequent advance in the preoperative planning of surgeries in the area of traumatology and improvement in the quality of life of the patient. Finally, an approach to microscale bone morphology and behaviour is made by generating validated virtual bone sections, with the aim of addressing the problem of the absence of datasets of real cases.
