Background:

Femoral head resurfacing (FHR) is an alternative to total hip replacement (THR), suitable for active patients.
Current FHR methods using mechanical jigs have limitations in accuracy and efficiency.
Precise implant positioning is crucial for successful FHR outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computer-assisted system for femoral head resurfacing (FHR).
To create a mathematical model of the femoral head and neck for improved surgical planning.
To enhance the accuracy and efficiency of FHR surgery.

Main Methods:

Construction of a mathematical model of the femoral head and neck using numerical optimization theory.
Development of a computer-assisted FHR system incorporating optical tracking, numerical analysis, and computer graphics.
