Abstract

Preoperative planning is a fundamental and routine action within the process of any surgical intervention. Thanks to preoperative planning, the surgeon can perform the surgery more predictably and with more guarantees of better clinical results. The digital planning software allows the surgeon to digitally operate the patient making numerous measurements, cuts, biomechanical adjustments and the selection of the most suitable implants. In this paper we perform an update on the preoperative digital planning in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology. The advantages and disadvantages of its use, the factors to take into account and the new technologies that in the next years we foresee will be the standard of care in our specialty.
