This study developed an imageless computer navigation system for total hip replacement surgery. The system achieved high accuracy in controlling cup anteversion and inclination, improving surgical precision without traditional imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Surgical Navigation Systems

Background:

  • Total hip replacement (THR) traditionally relies on preoperative imaging like CT scans or intraoperative fluoroscopy for accurate component placement.
  • Computer navigation systems aim to enhance surgical accuracy and reproducibility in orthopedic procedures.
  • Existing navigation systems may require extensive imaging, increasing radiation exposure and operative time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an imageless computer navigation system for total hip replacement.
  • To assess the system's accuracy in achieving desired cup anteversion and inclination without preoperative or intraoperative imaging.
  • To identify critical factors for ensuring measurement accuracy in imageless navigation.

Main Methods:

  • A novel imageless computer navigation system was developed for total hip replacement.
  • The system was utilized in 195 hip replacement surgeries, with iterative refinement.
  • Key factors for accuracy, including mechanical stability, pelvic tilt compensation, and measurement confirmation techniques, were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The system demonstrated high accuracy in controlling cup-adjusted anteversion (100% in the final 40 hips) and inclination (96.6%).
  • Initial surgeries (85 hips) informed refinements, leading to improved precision in subsequent procedures (110 hips).
  • Mechanical stability, pelvic tilt adjustment, and cross-validation techniques were identified as crucial for accurate measurements.

Conclusions:

  • An imageless computer navigation system can achieve high accuracy in total hip replacement surgery.
  • This technology offers a viable alternative to traditional imaging-based navigation, potentially reducing radiation exposure.
  • Precise execution requires attention to tool stability, pelvic tilt compensation, and robust measurement verification.
