## Abstract ## Background Distal locking is the key procedure of the intramedullary nailing operation. It is difficult to precisely locate the locking path, and intraoperative radiation exposure is also a serious problem. The advantages and disadvantages of different approaches applied in this ope
Objective: Fluoroscopy is used to guide surgical instruments during orthopedic procedures. Radiation exposure and lack of spatial information are drawbacks of this method. Improvements are expected when fluoroscopy-based surgical navigation is used for intraoperative guidance, e.g., in computer-assi
