Abstract

Computer graphics and rapid prototyping have been combined to convert computer tomography into three-dimensional data. This method has been turned to practical use in preoperative planning, inter operative support, and informed consent. Over 17 different types of medical procedures have been developed through this rapid- prototyping method, including procedures related to fracture deformation healing, osteoarthritis, and scaphoid nonunion. From an integrated design engineering perspective, we consider how surgical support through rapid modeling relates to the verification of sequences in medical behavior (information). Finally, we consider future developments.
