[The method of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery based on two-dimensional fluoroscopy: the principles of action].

Surgical instruments play a major role in orthopedic surgery; usually they are controlled visually at the operation. In certain situations additional device to control instrument is needed. The aim of this paper is to present theoretical foundations, create prototype and give initial assessment of computer assisted orthopedic surgery system. Two-dimensional fluoroscopy was the base for system functioning. Lab tests and first applications in the operating room are presented. Precision of the system found allows for its use in orthopedic surgery with television monitoring.

[Digital method of assessing bone radiographs].

The computerized method of bone radiographs assessment has been presented. The radiographs were taken by standard technique with the aluminum wedge on the film and known exposition parameters as energy, time and the distance between the source and the subject. Specially designed software served to evaluate the intensity of film darkening. The method may be particularly useful for quantitative assessment of the callus in the healing phase of fractured bone. It may also be an alternative method (as cheaper one) to QCT or DPX in bone density evaluation in patients with metabolic bone diseases.
