ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZATION OF ELEMENTS USED TO AID IN TREATMENT OF MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS OR ORTHOPEDIC CONDITIONS

摘要

An arrangement (100) for optimization of location and/or characteristics of at least one element (508, 10) used to aid in treatment of musculoskeletal disorders or orthopedic conditions. The arrangement comprises at least one processor (102) configured to receive (600) three-dimensional digital imaging data (200) indicative of subcutaneous tissue of a target entity (208). The at least one processor is additionally configured to create (608), using the imaging data, a computational model (500) to represent one or more tissues (202, 302, 402, 502) and their possible fragments (206, 506) incorporating information involving a location (204, 504) related to a musculoskeletal disorder or orthopedic condition identified from said imaging data. The at least one processor is furthermore configured to optimize (610) the location and/or one or more characteristics of said at least one element with respect to at least one variable and generate (624) an output to a user entity of the arrangement, indicative of the feasibility of the at least one element.
