This study aims to evaluate a preoperative fracture analysis tool that uses 3D visualization and biomechanical modeling to assist surgeons in planning screw and plate fixation for complex tibial plateau fractures. By simulating different fixation strategies based on patient-specific CT data, the tool provides insights into construct stability, potentially improving surgical precision and reducing intraoperative uncertainty. The study also investigates the tool's feasibility within current clinical workflows without altering the standard of care.
