Project Description

Using SlicerSOFA to simulate orbital fracture repair using titanium plate.

Objective

1. Create a demo scene for future development and gathering feedback from surgeons
2. Plan for a grant proposal resubmission.

Approach and Plan

Work on two separate scenes:
1. Soft tissue retraction:

• Goal: move the retractor to create a gap sufficient to insert the plate
• Challenges: collision in a confined space; proper mechanical models of different tissue types

2. Plate bending and fixation

• Meshed plate is geometrically complicated; using shell model as a proxy

3. Run a demo scene in SlicerSOFA

• How to integrate Slicer methods to facilitate mechanical model preparation and interaction, such as controller

Progress and Next Steps

1. Describe specific steps you have actually done.
