Abstract
Bone fractures may be associated with one or more fragments separated from a bone. The fractured bone may be captured with an imaging device. The disclosed systems may be configured to predict or otherwise determine a position of the fragments prior to occurrence of the bone fracture. The determined position may be utilized to position and secure the fragments during a surgical procedure. Methods for determining the pre-fracture position of bone fragments are also disclosed.
