abstract

Femoro-Acetabular Impingement (FAI) is a hip joint disease which affects and impairs the range of hip motion during performing activities of daily living, jogging, walking, or climbing stairs due to the bony abnormalities of the joint. We introduce our ongoing medical project covering 2D/3D segmentation, modeling, center of rotation and range of motion. We discuss how we can use Computer Assisted modeling, simulation and visualization to help medical doctors for pre-operative planning, training, and analysis.
