Congratulations! Co-Me member Dr. Guoyan Zheng has received the 2006
Best Paper Award at the annual CAOS-International meeting in Montréal.
He is honored for his presentation titled "Accurate and robust recovery
of distal locking holes in computerassisted intramedullary nailing of
femoral shaft fractures".
Dr. Zheng presented a robust and accurate two-stage approach for automatic
recovery of distal locking holes in computer-assisted intramedullary nailing of
femoral shaft fractures. The proposed approach does not depend on any special
hardware setup, and can be integrated with any computer-assisted surgery (CAS)
system including both free-hand surgical navigation systems and medical
robotics, as long as two calibrated and registered fluoroscopic images of the
inserted IMN are available. The proposed approach is very robust, and works
well even when there are projections from outliers such as interventional
instrument and cables.
Dr. Guoyan Zheng is partner of Co-Me project 10 "Computer Assistance in
Orthopaedic Surgery" and head of the group for Orthopaedic Navigation, Division
of Surgical Technology of the MEM Research Center for Orthopaedic Surgery,
University of Bern.
