Abstract:
Fracture mapping, also known as mapping of fracture lines, is a technique of drawing fracture lines based on 3D reconstruction of radiological images. Fracture mapping can be used to describe fracture morphology, calculate fracture line angle and fragment area, improve clinical practice, propose a new classification system, clarify a fracture mechanism, and establish a model of bone fracture. At present, fracture mapping has become a powerful tool for study of morphology and clinical decision in orthopaedics. Reviewing the development of fracture mapping techniques, this paper addresses their clinical application in knee injuries, tibial plateau fracture, distal femur fracture and patellar fracture in particular. In addition, considering the trend of fracture mapping techniques and the morphology-related studies at present, we offer suggestions concerning improvement of techniques and morphology studies in knee injuries.
