[Kinematic examination of the musculoskeletal system : Use of methods of image and image sequence analyses as well as shape and motion models].

: Image-based preoperative planning has become a routine component in surgery on the musculoskeletal system. In joint arthroplasty it is obligatory. Surgeons are increasingly considering new approaches with additional computer-based kinematic examinations that also generate dynamic image analyses. This article describes several of these new examination techniques and discusses their clinical relevance.
