This text provides an overview of the fundamental principles of computer–aided orthopedic surgery before launching into clinical applications and practical examples of its implementation. Following a question–and–answer format, the authors share their own experiences in the field and impart a wealth of information on image processing, geometric characterizations of human beings, hardware design, development tools, and regulatory constraints. For graduate students, surgeons, and biomedical engineers, this book is a valuable refresher course and explanatory reference in computer–aided surgery.
