The control network is an important developmental orientation in the remote control system. As the control network and information network are comparatively alike in the framework and technology, we can build a control network which is similar to the common information network. In the era when the information network is becoming increasingly mature, it is a royal road to construct or rebuild a control information network in the development of the control network by relying on the achievements made in the information network or current information resources. This paper expounds the construction idea of the control information network, gives the idiographic realization method and then researches into the real-time problem encountered in the control information network, and presents a three-closed-loop control system based on virtualized reality. The feasibility of the idea is validated via experiments and simulations separately.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of 3D printing and digital technology in preoperative assessment and planning of internal fixation surgery for complex tibial plateau fracture.

METHODSComplex tibial plateau fractures and commonly used plates for tibial plateau were imaged using computed tomography (CT) to reconstruct the 3D fracture and plate models. The 3D models were used to perform virtual reduction and preoperative planning of internal fixation surgery with the most appropriate plates assisted by the 3D library of plates. According to the optimal plan, the 3D physical models of tibial plateau fractures and plates were 3D printed to simulate internal fixation operation. The effects of internal fixation were compared between the virtual surgery and the simulated surgery based on the 3D models.

RESULTSThe effects of internal fixation in the simulated surgery based on the 3D models were consistent with those of the virtual surgery. No significant difference was found in the screw length between the two surgeries.

CONCLUSIONThe combination of 3D printing and digital design can improve the effects of internal fixation for complex tibial plateau fractures.
