Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for generating a virtual internal fixture on the basis of image reduction, the method including: recognizing positions and shapes of multiple fracture fragments in a medical fracture image including a fracture site; determining conformity of the multiple fracture fragments by analyzing the shapes of the multiple fracture fragments; performing image reduction of the fracture site by moving the positions of the multiple fracture fragments on the basis of the conformity; and generating the virtual internal fixture for fixing the fracture site for which image reduction has been performed.
