1. To experience the benefits of an automated 3D kinematic measurement for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) using x-ray fluoroscopic images 2. To understand the 3D kinematics for the different types of joint motion after TJA including knee, hip, elbow and ankle in order to improve surgical techniques.

Content Organization: 1. Necessity of 3D kinematic measurement and analysis after TJA, and importance of the automated measurement using x-ray fluoroscopic images 2. Methodology of the automated 3D kinematic measurement for TJA using x-ray fluoroscopic images 3. Reliability and stability of the proposed method 4. Evaluation and understanding of 3D kinematics for TJA depended on various implant design and joint motion. Outline: Quantitative assessment of 3D dynamic motion after TJA is very important for understanding the effects of joint diseases, dysfunction and for evaluating the outcome of surgical procedures. This exhibit demonstrates an automated 3D kinematic measurement system using x-ray fluoroscopic images, and also present various 3D kinematics for TJA. This system can be a strong motivation for orthopaedic surgeon to improve surgical techniques.
