Automated methods are presented for the planning of correction osteotomies and osteosynthesis on lower extremities. Intraoperative calibrated X-ray images and kinematic measurements using optical tracking systems are the basis for the identification of the individual anatomy of the patient. The correction input of the surgeon, together with optimization algorithms, allows the calculation of the position and orientation of the osteotomies and the repositioning of the bone fragments. A navigation module supports the surgeon during the execution of osteotomies and repositioning, as well as osteosynthesis. So far, the approach has been evaluated in laboratory trials and ex vivo tests.
