Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Orthopaedic surgery, particularly hip and knee arthroplasty, benefits from advanced navigation techniques.
  • Computed tomography (CT) offers detailed anatomical visualization crucial for surgical planning and execution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and validate the accuracy and reproducibility of CT-based navigation systems in orthopaedic surgery.
  • To specifically evaluate the system's performance in hip and knee arthroplasty procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Laboratory validation involved computing acetabular implant position and orientation from postoperative CT scans.
  • System accuracy for 3D reconstruction and registration was assessed using cadaveric pelvis specimens.
  • Knee arthroplasty accuracy was measured in AP and lateral planes; clinical study evaluated hip-knee-ankle angles.

Main Results:

  • Postoperative CT analysis showed acetabular implant orientation errors under 1 degree.
  • Cadaveric pelvis registration yielded maximal inclination and anteversion errors of 5 degrees in over 97% of cases.
  • Clinical study reported 96% of implants achieved the desired hip-knee-ankle angle (180 +/- 3 degrees).

Conclusions:

  • CT-based navigation demonstrates superior accuracy and reproducibility compared to conventional orthopaedic surgery methods.
  • Further software development is necessary to facilitate the widespread adoption of CT-based navigation in clinical practice.
