Registration of a pair of damaged bones, with and without statistical regularization. The first bone has an artificial hip joint, and in the second, the trochanter major is missing. Without statistical regularization, the damaged bones are matched exactly ((a), (b)). With statistical regularization, the method recognizes that the damaged parts do not conform with the prior knowledge and restore them automatically ((c), (d)).
