Semi-Automatic MRI Segmentation for Assessing Cartilage Volume Changes After Ankle Distraction Arthroplasty Using the Ilizarov Frame for Ankle Osteoarthritis
Objectives: This study investigates the effectiveness of ankle distraction arthroplasty (ADA) using the Ilizarov frame in treating end-stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) by evaluating changes in cartilage volume through semi-automatic MRI segmentation. Methods: The study involved 42 end-stage post-traumatic ankle OA patie …
