    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Medical imaging
    • Robotics

    Background:

    • Precise anatomical alignment of bone fragments is critical for effective fracture healing.
    • Current 2D imaging technologies limit intra-operative assessment of fracture reduction, particularly for complex joint fractures.
    • Percutaneous techniques offer benefits but require accurate pre-operative planning and intra-operative guidance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and develop a 3D imaging system for intra-operative virtual reduction of joint fractures.
    • To integrate real-time tracking of bone fragments with a virtual 3D model for surgical planning.
    • To enable robotic execution of physically reduced fractures based on virtual manipulation.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a 3D imaging system capable of receiving and segmenting CT scan data.
    • Generation of 3D bone fragment models displayed on a graphical user interface (GUI).
    • Integration of an optical tracker for real-time pose tracking of bone fragments and virtual environment synchronization.
    • Utilization of a robotic manipulator for executing physical reductions guided by the virtual environment.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully generated 3D models from CT data and displayed them on a GUI.
    • Real-time tracking enabled accurate mapping of physical bone fragment poses to the virtual environment.
    • Experimental evaluation demonstrated high reduction accuracy: 1.04 ± 0.69 mm (translational RMSE) and 0.89 ± 0.71 ° (rotational RMSE).

    Conclusions:

    • The developed 3D imaging system provides a viable solution for intra-operative virtual reduction of joint fractures.
    • The integration of virtual planning with robotic execution enhances the precision of fracture reduction.
    • This technology has the potential to improve surgical outcomes and patient recovery in orthopedic trauma care.
