Summary

This study tests a new computer tool that creates a 3D model of a broken shinbone to help surgeons plan where to place screws and plates before surgery. The tool uses the patient's own CT scan to simulate different repair options. About 40 adults with a lower leg fracture will take part. The goal is to see if the tool is practical for use in real hospitals, not to change the actual surgery.
