The paper introduces OsteoOpt++, an image‑to‑decision loop that uses pre‑operative CT scans to build a personalized digital twin of a patient’s mandible and then applies Bayesian optimization to adjust six surgical variables for improved bone‑union propensity at the donor‑host interface. In both generic defect models and patient‑specific cases, the optimized plans increased donor‑mandible apposition by up to 29 % and 26 % respectively compared to surgeon‑generated plans, and the predicted apposition closely matched year‑1 bone formation (Dice overlap 70–85 %). The study demonstrates the feasibility of using apposition‑derived predictions to evaluate and compare reconstruction options and provides open‑source code for further development.

Accurate execution of preoperative plans in corrective femoral osteotomies remains challenging. Current techniques are limited by variable accuracy, invasiveness, and radiation exposure, with free-hand methods and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) often requiring >30 and >6 fluoroscopic images, respectively.

The article presents a fully automated pipeline for preoperative iliosacral screw planning in pelvic fracture patients, utilizing patient-specific 3D anatomy to identify safe screw corridors and generate individualized insertion trajectories. In a study of 200 clinical cases, the automated method increased the safety margin of safe insertion corridors by 2% across four screw types, reduced mean planning time by over 90%, and achieved a 95% clinical acceptance rate compared to conventional manual measurements.

3D point cloud registration in laparoscopic surgery estimates the transformation between an intraoperative organ reconstructed from video and its preoperative mesh. Because ground-truth transformations are unavailable for real data, supervised networks are trained on synthetic organ pairs.
