This study introduces a novel fluorolaser navigation system for minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, offering accurate guidance without secondary monitors or complex imaging. The system enables intuitive surgical tool insertion, reducing procedure complexity.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Navigation Systems
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Conventional orthopedic surgery navigation relies on secondary monitors with CT/MRI data.
  • Augmented reality systems project plans into glasses, but procedures remain challenging.
  • Minimally invasive orthopedic surgery requires improved, intuitive guidance systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a novel surgical navigation system for direct, radiation-minimized guidance.
  • To combine fluoroscopy-based navigation with laser guidance for enhanced accuracy.
  • To eliminate the need for secondary monitors and complex preoperative imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a comprehensive surgical navigation system integrating fluoroscopy and laser guidance.

Published on: May 9, 2018

  • Utilized two X-ray images for surgical planning, avoiding CT/MRI scans.
  • Projected guidance information directly onto the patient using two laser beams.

    • Main Results:

    • In vitro needle insertion accuracy was 2.32 mm and 2.28° for planning, and 2.40 mm and 2.39° for guidance.
    • Successfully demonstrated system feasibility through percutaneous pin insertion on phantoms.
    • Validated system accuracy in 15 in vitro needle insertion and 6 phantom pedicle screw experiments.

    Conclusions:

    • The fluorolaser navigation system provides accurate guidance for minimally invasive orthopedic surgery.
    • The system supports intuitive surgical tool insertion without preoperative 3D imaging or registration.
    • This technology offers a promising alternative to conventional and existing augmented reality navigation methods.
