Description

[0002] The femoral neck is responsible for the movement and support functions of most human activities, and the treatment effect of its fracture will directly affect the patient's quality of life after surgery. At present, femoral neck fractures account for 3.6% of all fractures in the body and half of hip fractures. They are more common in middle-aged and elderly people with osteoporosis. With the serious aging of society, the incidence rate is increasing year by year. Robotic arm-assisted femoral neck fracture surgery is of great significance.

[0003] Currently, most of the femoral neck fracture surgical navigation systems on the market achieve high-precision surgical path assisted navigation through 3D CT imaging registration during surgery. However, due to the need for continuous CT imaging, the cost and radiation damage to patients are too high. Some surgical navigation systems only perform X-ray plane registration during surgery. The imaging cost and radiation damage are low, but the accuracy of surgical path assisted navigation cannot be guaranteed. During surgery, how to low-cost and low-radiation align the actual surgical site with the three-dimensional image of the surgical site obtained by preoperative scanning to guide the surgery is a hot topic and difficulty currently studied by clinicians and engineering experts.

[0071] The medical image acquisition device is used to acquire three-dimensional femoral CT images and two-dimensional X-ray images, and transmit the acquired images to the main control device.

[0072] In order to ensure accurate control of the medical image acquisition device, in some embodiments, a gyroscope is installed on the medical image acquisition device;

[0076] To ensure the accuracy of tracking the robotic arm, in some embodiments, the robotic arm includes: an end navigation positioning component, and optical trackers are provided on all surfaces of the end navigation positioning component to track the end navigation positioning component at all angles in the optical tracker.

[0077] In some embodiments, the robot arm includes: an end guide cylinder, an optical identification probe is inserted in the end guide cylinder, and an optical tracer is provided on the optical identification probe to track the end guide cylinder at all angles in the optical tracker.

[0078] In some embodiments, the robotic arm includes: an end guide cylinder, an optical identification sleeve is sleeved on the outer surface of the end guide cylinder, so as to track the optical identification sleeve at all angles in the optical tracker and align it with the standard circular sleeve to accurately identify the position and posture of the end guide cylinder.

[0079] The femoral neck fracture minimally invasive surgical navigation system provided by the present invention is described below with reference to a specific example. Figure 4 As shown, the minimally invasive surgical navigation system for femoral neck fracture in this example includes a robotic arm 1, a main control device 2, an optical tracker 3, a medical imaging device 4 (which may be a C-arm with CT scanning and X-ray imaging), an image locator 5, an optical tracer, and matching surgical tools. The main control device 2 is used to plan navigation, and the robotic arm 1 is used to assist the doctor in completing surgical positioning navigation, thereby completing an accurate, safe, and fast minimally invasive surgery.

[0080] The medical imaging device 4, the optical tracker 3 and the robotic arm 1 are connected to the main control device 2. The main control device 2 is the main operating device, which is used to process the spatial coordinate conversion between three-dimensional CT images and two-dimensional X-ray images and surgical scene images taken by the optical tracker 3, as well as to perform medical image acquisition and processing, preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation and postoperative data analysis.

[0081] like Figure 5The end positioning and navigation component of the robot arm 1 is a conical polyhedron structure. The conical polyhedron is composed of multiple triangular faces. Each triangular face has three reflective balls. The two balls near the end of the robot arm 1 are located at the intersection of the two triangular faces. The two faces share a reflective ball. The optical tracker 3 can track the optical marker points 6-10 on the end positioning and navigation component of the robot arm 1 at all angles.

[0082] After the end positioning navigation component of the robot arm 1 is in place, Figure 6 As shown, an optical marking ring 11 made of reflective material is installed on the guide cylinder at the end of the robot arm 1. The optical tracker 3 can track the optical marking ring 11 at all angles and identify the position and posture of the guide cylinder at the end of the robot arm 1 by aligning it with the standard ring. Figure 7 As shown, the special probe 12 is inserted into the guide cylinder, and the tip of the probe 12 is tightly matched with the end guide cylinder of the robot arm 1. The optical tracker 3 determines the position and posture of the end guide cylinder of the robot arm 1 by identifying the position and posture of the special probe 12.

[0083] In this case, taking femoral neck fracture surgery as an example, the following operations are performed:

[0084] The first step is 3D CT image acquisition and surgical path planning:

[0085] 1.1) Perform CT scanning using medical imaging equipment 4, transmit the scanning information to the main control device 2, perform three-dimensional image reconstruction, and obtain a three-dimensional CT image of the patient's femur. The doctor plans the surgical path in the three-dimensional CT image, such as virtually assembling bone screws and screw plates, and planning needle entry and exit points.

[0086] 1.2) To achieve the subsequent registration operation, two-dimensional DRR projections at multiple angles are performed based on the three-dimensional CT image.

[0087] 1.3) If Figure 8 As shown, each two-dimensional DRR projection image is preprocessed, the femoral head is fitted into a sphere, and the outer contour of the femur is automatically generated, the projection coordinate system OXY of the affected bone is established, the two intersection points N9 and N10 of the characteristic circle and the outer contour of the femur are automatically generated, and a coordinate axis OX is established by connecting the center of the femoral head sphere and the midpoint of the line segment N9N10, and a series of straight lines parallel to the line segment N9N10 are automatically generated. This series of straight lines intersects with the outer contour of the femur at points N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, and N8, and these intersections are used as femoral feature points for registration. Subsequent two-dimensional X-ray images also use a similar method to obtain femoral feature points. After the operation is completed, all information can be saved.

[0088] The second step is 3D-2D image registration and surgical path navigation:

[0089] 2.1) Open the software of the main control device 2 and import the planned surgical path into the main control device 2.

[0090] 2.2) Fix the optical tracer on the femur of the patient and select an image locator 5 of appropriate size and structure, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the image locator 5 is installed with developing marking points 26-28 and six optical marking points 13-18, and the optical tracker 3 is used to record the spatial position information of the image locator 5 and the tracer.

[0091] 2.3) Collect two two-dimensional X-ray images of the femur of the patient; install an image correction module at the image intensifier end of the medical imaging device 4, such as Fig.10 As shown, the rotation angle of the C-arm 19 when taking a two-dimensional X-ray image is determined by the display angle of the gyroscope 20, and image correction is performed based on the rotation angle.

[0092] The rotation angle of the C-arm 19 when taking a two-dimensional X-ray image is calculated by the equivalent axis-angle coordinate formula. Assuming that the C-arm 19 rotates by an angle θ, the equivalent axis-angle coordinate formula is:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, vθ=1-cosθ, cθ=cosθ, sθ=sinθ, [k x ,k y ,k z ] is the unit direction vector of the rotation axis K of the C-arm 19.

[0095] According to the rotation angle actually displayed by the gyroscope 20 when the C-arm 19 rotates, the rotation matrix relative to the initial position can be obtained as follows:

[0096]

[0097] [r 11 ,r 21 ,r 31 ]、[r 12 ,r 22 ,r 32 ]、[r 13 ,r 23 ,r 33 ] respectively represent the projection components of the three principal axis unit vectors of the rotated coordinate system relative to the three principal axes of the original coordinate system.

[0098] Then the rotation angle θ of the C-arm 19 is:

[0099]

[0100] 2.4) The main control device 2 performs 3D-2D image information registration, and automatically registers each 2D DRR projection image with the 2D X-ray image; the femoral coordinate system of the 2D DRR projection image and the 2D X-ray image is overlapped, and the similarity of the feature points N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N9, and N10 is compared. If the two images match successfully within the error range, the 2D surgical path of the 2D DRR projection image is obtained, and the two 2D surgical paths corresponding to the two 2D X-ray images are obtained.

[0101] 2.5) The three-dimensional surgical path is determined according to the dual-plane method, and the actual surgical path is obtained after spatial coordinate transformation based on the position relationship between the imaging landmarks and the optical landmarks.

[0102] 2.6) If Fig.11 As shown, the probe 21 is used to calibrate the spatial positions of the operating table 22 and the patient, the semi-cylinder 23 and the cuboid 24 are used to envelop the safety space, and the simplified model of each joint of the robot 1 is established using the enveloping method of multiple cylinders 25. The robot 1 uses a bounding box detection algorithm to perform collision detection simulation with the operating table 22 and the patient along the actual surgical path.

[0103] 2.7) Control the robotic arm 1 with six rotating joints in series to perform navigation and positioning operations according to the actual surgical path to assist doctors in performing minimally invasive surgery for femoral neck fractures.

[0104] The third step is postoperative information processing:

[0105] 3.1) Fig.12 , use probe 21 to detect the distance between the entry points and parallelism of the three Kirschner wires, and establish the three-dimensional surgical accuracy and parallelism evaluation index:

[0106]

[0107]

[0108]

[0109] Where B1E1, B2E2 and B3E3 are the spatial positions of the three Kirschner wires exposed outside the patient, B1, B2 and B3 are the starting positions of the three Kirschner wires, and E1, E2 and E3 are the end positions of the three Kirschner wires; θ 1 ,θ 2 and θ 3 Respectively represent the angle between every two Kirschner wires.

[0110] Take a CT or X-ray of the patient to display the position of the bone screws, and conduct a comparative analysis between the preoperatively planned surgical path and the postoperative bone screw position, which can also include comparison of patient data information.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of ​​the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
