Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Intraoperative fluoroscopy aids visualization of bone and tools in orthopedic procedures.
  • Current fluoroscopy methods involve radiation exposure and alignment challenges.
  • Advancements are needed to improve safety and precision in orthopedic navigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new computer-assisted freehand navigation system concept.
  • To utilize single intraoperative fluoroscopic images for real-time surgical tool navigation.
  • To overcome limitations of traditional fluoroscopy in orthopedic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Optoelectronic markers track surgical tools, patient reference, and fluoroscope.
  • Precalibration determines fluoroscope projection properties using a phantom grid.

Related Experiment Videos

  • System corrects for image intensifier distortions and C-arm bending for accurate simulation.
  • Numerical alignment of the fluoroscope is achieved without X-ray exposure.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated feasibility of the computer-assisted navigation system.
    • Successful application in cadaver trials for distal locking of femoral nails.
    • Real-time simulation of surgical tool positions in multiple fluoroscopic images.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed system offers a viable alternative to traditional fluoroscopy.
    • This technology enhances precision and reduces radiation exposure in orthopedic procedures.
    • Further clinical validation is warranted for widespread adoption.
