This study presents a method to create patient-specific 3D femur models from X-rays for orthopaedic surgery. Using two radiographs significantly improves accuracy compared to a single view, reducing errors in bone modeling.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Personalized 3D models are crucial for computer-aided surgery, pre-operative planning, and post-operative follow-up in orthopaedics.
  • Current methods often rely on Computed Tomography (CT) scans, which have limitations regarding radiation exposure and cost.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for creating patient-specific 3D femur models using only radiographic images.
  • To evaluate the accuracy of these models compared to those derived from CT scans.
  • To assess the impact of using single versus multiple radiographic views on model accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • A generic 3D femur model was adapted based on bone outlines visible in antero-posterior (AP) radiographs.
  • Morphological errors were quantified by comparing models derived from radiographs with those from CT scans.

  • Model accuracy was assessed using single AP radiographs and a combination of AP and medial-lateral (ML) radiographs.

    • Main Results:

    • Using only an AP radiograph resulted in average errors of 4.8 mm (radius), 14% (area), and 15% (inertial moments).
    • Incorporating both AP and ML radiographs reduced average errors to 2.0 mm (radius), 5% (area), and 7% (inertial moments).

    Conclusions:

    • Patient-specific 3D femur models can be generated from radiographs, offering a viable alternative when CT scans are unavailable or not justified.
    • The accuracy of these 3D models is significantly enhanced by utilizing both AP and ML radiographic views.
    • This technique is beneficial for retrospective studies and situations where minimizing radiation exposure and cost is a priority.
