Effects of preoperative virtual simulation planning on the treatment of acetabular fractures: a meta-analysis

Compared to conventional surgery, preoperative virtual simulation planning is more effective in the treatment of acetabular fractures, resulting in shorter intraoperative and internal fixation times, reduced intraoperative blood loss, and lower fluoroscopy frequency. Moreover, in the follow-up period, the preoperative virtual simulation planning group exhibits a lower incidence of postoperative complications and superior fracture site recovery, resulting in better overall prognostic outcomes.Prospero registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/ (registration number: RD42023447807).
