The evaluation focuses on quantifying anatomical accuracy and assessing the impact on ischemia time. Methods: A pilot study was conducted, including patients who underwent in-house planned computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of free fibula flaps between 2021 and 2023. Out of all patient cases, we included all with postoperative 3D imaging in the study. The study utilized open-source software tools for the planning step, and three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques. The Hausdorff distance and Dice coefficient metrics were used to evaluate the accuracy of the planning procedure. Results: The study assessed eight patients (five males and three females, mean age 61.75 ± 3.69 years) with different diagnoses such as osteoradionecrosis and oral squamous cell carcinoma. The average ischemia time was 68.38 ± 27.95 min. For the evaluation of preoperative planning vs. the postoperative outcome, the mean Hausdorff Distance was 1.22 ± 0.40. The Dice Coefficients yielded a mean of 0.77 ± 0.07, suggesting a satisfactory concordance between the planned and postoperative states. Dice Coefficient and Hausdorff Distance revealed significant correlations with ischemia time (Spearman's rho = -0.810, p = 0.015 and Spearman's rho = 0.762, p = 0.028, respectively). Linear regression models adjusting for disease type further substantiated these findings. Conclusions: The in-house planning algorithm not only achieved high anatomical accuracy, as reflected by the Dice Coefficients and Hausdorff Distance metrics, but this accuracy also exhibited a significant correlation with reduced ischemia time. This underlines the critical role of meticulous planning in surgical outcomes. Additionally, the algorithm's open-source nature renders it cost-efficient, easy to learn, and broadly applicable, offering promising avenues for enhancing both healthcare affordability and accessibility.}, language = {en} } @article{HerbortButz2012, author = {Herbort, Oliver and Butz, Martin V.}, title = {Too good to be true? Ideomotor theory from a computational perspective}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-76383}, year = {2012}, abstract = {In recent years, Ideomotor Theory has regained widespread attention and sparked the development of a number of theories on goal-directed behavior and learning. However, there are two issues with previous studies' use of Ideomotor Theory. Although Ideomotor Theory is seen as very general, it is often studied in settings that are considerably more simplistic than most natural situations. Moreover, Ideomotor Theory's claim that effect anticipations directly trigger actions and that action-effect learning is based on the formation of direct action-effect associations is hard to address empirically. We address these points from a computational perspective. A simple computational model of Ideomotor Theory was tested in tasks with different degrees of complexity.The model evaluation showed that Ideomotor Theory is a computationally feasible approach for understanding efficient action-effect learning for goal-directed behavior if the following preconditions are met: (1) The range of potential actions and effects has to be restricted. (2) Effects have to follow actions within a short time window. (3) Actions have to be simple and may not require sequencing. The first two preconditions also limit human performance and thus support Ideomotor Theory. The last precondition can be circumvented by extending the model with more complex, indirect action generation processes. In conclusion, we suggest that IdeomotorTheory offers a comprehensive framework to understand action-effect learning. However, we also suggest that additional processes may mediate the conversion of effect anticipations into actions in many situations.}, subject = {Psychologie}, language = {en} }
