Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Robotics
  • Computer-Assisted Surgery

Background:

  • Arthroscopic hip surgery is underutilized due to navigation complexity and portal placement risks.
  • Traditional arthroscopy faces challenges with hip joint access and neurovascular structure protection.
  • A novel computer-aided navigation system is proposed to enhance arthroscopic hip surgery safety and efficacy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a computer-aided navigation system for arthroscopic hip surgery.
  • To address limitations in intra-articular navigation and portal site accuracy.
  • To improve the feasibility of minimally invasive hip procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A hyper-redundant encoder linkage was employed for precise surgical instrument tracking.
  • The system overcomes occlusion and distortion issues inherent in optical and electromagnetic trackers.
  • Instrument position data generated a real-time computer display of patient anatomy.

Main Results:

  • The encoder linkage tracking prototype demonstrated acceptable error margins.
  • A prototype system successfully verified the computer-aided approach for arthroscopic hip surgery.
  • The system provided visual supplementation to the arthroscope's limited view.

Conclusions:

  • The navigation system effectively addresses challenges in hip joint navigation and portal placement.
  • The encoder linkage tracking system presents a viable alternative to current tracking technologies.
  • Surgeons provided positive feedback on the prototype's potential for clinical application.
