Simulation Software to Plan the Treatment of Acetabular Fractures: The Patient-Specific Biomechanical Model.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the impact of using simulation software for preoperative planning: a patient-specific biomechanical model (PSBM) in acetabular surgery. The secondary objectives were to assess operating time, intraoperative bleeding, and peroperative complications.

Design: This is a prospective control study.

Planning acetabular fracture reduction using a patient-specific biomechanical model: a prospective and comparative clinical study.

Purpose: A simple, patient-specific biomechanical model (PSBM) is proposed in which the main surgical tools and actions can be simulated, which enables clinicians to evaluate different strategies for an optimal surgical planning. A prospective and comparative clinical study was performed to assess early clinical and radiological results.

Methods: From January 2019 to July 2019, a PSBM was created for every operated acetabular fracture (simulation group).
