Abstract

Fracture is a condition that there is a damage in the continuity of the bone, usually caused by stress, trauma or weak bones. The tibia and fibula are two separated-long bones in the lower leg, closely linked at the knee and ankle. Tibia/fibula fracture often happen when there is too much force applied to the bone that it can withstand. One of the way to identify the location of tibia/fibula fracture is to read X-ray image manually. Visual examination requires more time and allows for errors in identification due to the noise in image. In addition, reading X-ray needs highlighting background to make the objects in X-ray image appear more clearly. Therefore, a method is required to help radiologist to identify the location of tibia/fibula fracture. We propose some image-processing techniques for processing cruris image and Scan line algorithm for the identification of fracture location. The result shows that our proposed method is able to identify it and reach up to 87.5% of accuracy.
