Computer-Assisted Optimization of the Acetabular Rotation in Periacetabular Osteotomy Using Patient’s Anatomy-Specific Finite Element Analysis

Figure 2

Reconstructed solid models of the pelvis based on the Pre- and Post-OP CT scans. The extent of osteotomy of the acetabulum was shown with a dotted line. (a) Locations of the anatomic landmarks in Pre- and Post-OP models in a lateral view (mark number 1 for acetabular fossa; mark number 2, and mark number 3 for the acetabular anterior and inferior sites, resp.); (b) the global coordinate system (X, Y, and Z; sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes) were shown. Three-dimensional rotations of the acetabulum were described by three Bryant angles along each axis.
