From: Reinforcing the role of the conventional C-arm - a novel method for simplified distal interlocking
Experimental setup. Left: Cadaveric below knee specimens, instrumented with a tibia nail, were secured to an OR table. A conventional 2D C-arm could be freely positioned to visualize the distal interlocking holes. The C-arm monitor signal was processed in real-time and was routed back to the C-arm monitor. Right: A radiolucent drill was manually operated either with aid of a targeting jig or without
