Method for quantitative assessment of acetabular bone defects

This study showed the feasibility of a quantitative assessment of acetabular bone defects using a statistical shape model‐based reconstruction method. Validation results showed acceptable reconstruction accuracy, also when less h ealthy bone remains. The method could potentially be used for implant development, pre‐clinical testing, pre‐operative planning, and intra‐operative navigation. © 2018 The Authors.Journal of Orthopaedic Research® Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of Orthopaedic Research Society.
