TLDR
Surgeons can expect properly constructed RP models to provide significant benefits for complex surgeries of the pediatric spine and pelvis in the areas of preoperative planning, intrasurgical navigation, and communication with patients.
Abstract
Background:The benefits provided by rapid prototyping (RP) of patient anomalies in complex surgeries of the pediatric spine and pelvis were elucidated and characterized.Methods:Surgeons involved in the study were solicited from the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children and the network of Shriner

Rapid prototyping: the future of trauma surgery?

TL;DR: The surgical precision that is possible with use of computer image guidance for placement of screws or pins about the hip joint for the treatment of complex acetabular fractures and for insertion of pedicle screws is impressive, but this technology is not yet commonly used by surgeons because of its apparent complexity.

Mind on Statistics

William L. Seaver
- 01 Nov 2002 - 
TL;DR: This book discusses using the likelihood function for both modeling and inference, providing a nice introduction to a variety of topics and can serve as a good initial exposure to possibly new concepts without overwhelming them with details.

Computer assisted screw insertion into real 3D rapid prototyping pelvis models.

TL;DR: The use of computer navigation allows for the insertion of longer screws into the bones of the pelvis (more exact positioning), which requires a more precise original point of entry and direction of the drill (vector).
