New method for detection of complex 3D fracture motion - Verification of an optical motion analysis system for biomechanical studies

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Fracture-healing depends on interfragmentary motion. For improved osteosynthesis and fracture-healing, the micromotion between fracture fragments is undergoing intensive research. The detection of 3D micromotions at the fracture gap...
