Abstract
There is provided a computer-implemented method () and apparatus for determining a transformation for anatomically aligning fragments of a broken bone. An image of the broken bone of the subject is acquired (). The bone is broken into two or more fragments. A model of a corresponding unbroken bone and at least one parameter is acquired. The at least one parameter defines one or more deformations to the model that are permitted when fitting portions of the model of the unbroken bone to corresponding fragments of the broken bone (). Portions of the model of the unbroken bone are fit to corresponding fragments of the broken bone based on the at least one parameter (). A transformation is determined that anatomically aligns the fragments of the broken bone with the corresponding portions of the model ().
