Introduction

Navigation system has been used for very accurate surgery. It can also be useful for preoperative planning. A surgeon can understand whole surgery, plan the surgery and perform the surgery three dimensionally and accurately. But the planning procedures should be installed before everything is started. When the surgery will be done in an ordinary method, the surgeon would not find particular difficulties. But in sometimes the surgeon can have unordinary situation such as massive defect that should be treated with acetabular enforcement device and bone grafted. Using postoperative DICOM data which is predicted by preoperative planning using 3D CAD software, we will be able to use the navigation system for those cases with difficulties that is not supported.

Objectives

To establish a method to use a navigation system using preoperative planning data that is processed by our 3D CAD software which is not supported by the navigation system itself, including device preparation using plastic models.
