Abstract
This paper describes the design and development of a VR system that can assist orthopedic diagnosis and surgery. A realistic 3D knee surface model, integrated with motion analysis, is used to visualize the geometrical and biomechanical characteristics of human knee joint. The system can be used to perform pre-operative surgery simulation and evaluation in a VR environment
