Abstract
Image Processing based computerized expert system has been developed in the context of fracture
treatment of patient. The tibia fracture has been taken into account for various possibilities of the cure
analysis. Callus formation along with the Patient tenderness jointly signifies the treatment. The concept of
fuzzification between the callus formation between fragment of broken bones and other parameters of
patient clinical status have been considered for decision making system. The Callus Formation is identified
by edge blurriness and gap filling between cortical gaps of bones. Intensity change has been quantified by
portion of normal and broken bone in order to find the healing .Various treatment methods to fracture have
been depicted by patient’s stiffness, pain, movement and deformity along with the callus intensity change
creating fuzzy logic.
