Abstract
The system uses virtual reality to assist the process of aligning bones and comprises four components. An aiming device has aiming bars and an image calibrating device, which my be coupled to the aiming device, is used to determine the initial angles and scales. A regulating device is connected to the fixator's clamps if fracture reduction is required. Alternatively the regulating device is connected to the aiming device on one side and to the bone structure on the other. A measuring device is connected to a PC which allows actual alignment status in virtual reality on two planes once calibration X-rays or fluoroscopies on approximately perpendicular planes have been performed and stored in the computer memory.
