Abstract

PURPOSE: Three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning has become the gold standard for orthopedic surgeries, primarily relying on CT-reconstructed 3D models. However, in contrast to standing radiographs, a CT scan is not part of the standard protocol but is usually acquired for preoperative planning purposes only. Additionally, it is costly, exposes the patients to high doses of radiation and is acquired in a non-weight-bearing position.
