Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Medical Imaging
Computer-Aided Surgery

Background:

Computer-aided surgery (CAS) systems enhance orthopedic procedures through virtual planning and measurements.
Clinical validation of CAS accuracy and safety is crucial before implementation.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate the accuracy of a new CAS software system.
To assess guide-wire length and angle measurements using image analysis.
To evaluate the fusion of multiple adjacent images (panoramic view image, PVI).

Main Methods:

Part I involved drilling guide wires into a synthetic femur and comparing software measurements to manual caliper and depth gauge measurements.
Part II involved osteotomizing a sawbone femur and comparing software measurements of angles and lengths to manual measurements.

A Teleoperated Robotic System-Assisted Percutaneous Transiliac-Transsacral Screw Fixation Technique

Published on: January 6, 2023

Main Results:

A significant positive linear correlation was found between computerized and manual length measurements (r>0.983, p<0.01).
No significant differences were observed across various distances, angles, or positions from the image intensifier.
A significant positive linear correlation was found between computerized and manual angle and length measurements on the PVI (r>0.993, p<0.01).

Conclusions:

The new computerized software demonstrates high reliability for intra-operative length measurements.
The system accurately measures guide wire length and angle, supporting orthopedic surgical planning.
The software's image analysis capabilities contribute to precise surgical guidance.
