Abstract
This study presents a “FullScale 3D Multimedia Preoperative Planning System for Total Ankle Joint Replacement” that evaluation and verifies the usability of artificial ankle joint replacement operation The system uses a fullscale computerassisted engineering technique for designing and developing preoperative planning modules The multimedia user interface integrates the function of different software programs in order to plan and simulate the operation These functions include 3D image model capturing sectioning translocation rotating and measuring relevant foot anatomy all of which can be integrated and used for surgical planning as well as for future study and discussion Furthermore because the system is computer based with a multimedia user interface surgeons can use it to explore the optimal operative procedure The system also has a databank that can update and expand and can be used to provide clinical cases to different users for education and training
