Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical orthopedic prostheses, and in particular to a method and device for predicting the elastic modulus of a bone defect repairing bracket based on finite element analysis, and a prediction device. Background Art

[0002] Repairing large bone defects is a difficult problem in orthopedics. The current clinical method for defect repair is to implant a prosthesis using a fixed steel plate + scaffold material, which is also an important method for treating bone defects.

[0003] There are many types of scaffold materials and designs, all of which are designed to make bones heal faster and better.

[0004] Because bone is a mechanically regulated tissue organ, bone growth in the scaffold is closely related to mechanical factors. Studies have shown that the strain value borne by the callus determines the differentiation trend of the callus and whether it is conducive to osteogenesis.

[0005] The design of bone defect scaffolds is a complex process involving multiple steps such as medical image reconstruction, defect tissue generation, bone scaffold manufacturing and cell culture. The following are the conventional design steps of existing bone defect scaffolds:

[0006] 1. Medical image reconstruction: First, detailed images of the defective bone are acquired through medical imaging techniques (such as CT or MRI). Then, these images are reconstructed using image processing techniques to obtain a three-dimensional model of the defective part.

[0007] 2. Defect tissue contour reconstruction algorithm: Based on the 3D model reconstructed from medical images, a specific algorithm is used to reconstruct the contour of the defect tissue. This step is very critical because it determines the degree of match between the final stent and the defect site.

[0008] 3. Bone scaffold manufacturing: According to the designed scaffold model, appropriate manufacturing technology (such as 3D printing, biomaterial molding, etc.) is used to manufacture the bone defect scaffold. During the manufacturing process, key parameters such as the biocompatibility, mechanical properties and pore structure of the material need to be strictly controlled.

[0009] When designing the structure of the stent material, there are also the following technical defects:

[0010] The design of existing bone defect scaffolds does not take into account the influence of the scaffold elastic modulus and the strain of the scaffold when it is subjected to physiological loads. When the strain of the scaffold when subjected to physiological loads is lower than the normal strain range of the bone, the bone will be damaged and it is not conducive to osteogenesis. If it is higher than the lower limit of this area, it is not conducive to osteogenesis differentiation and affects bone healing.

[0011] Therefore, it is impossible to ensure that the strain is within a range that promotes bone healing and growth, and there is a lack of design considerations for the elastic modulus of the scaffold. Summary of the invention

The method can be implemented by a prediction device, which can be a terminal or a server. Figure 1 The flowchart of the method for predicting the elastic modulus of a bone defect repair scaffold based on finite element analysis is shown. The processing flow of the method may include the following steps:

[0109] S1. Constructing a three-dimensional finite element analysis model of tibial fracture internal fixation, and establishing a three-dimensional model of a bone defect repair scaffold matching the bone defect area in the three-dimensional finite element analysis model, simulating filling the bone defect area, including:

[0110] Scan and obtain three-dimensional clinical medical scanning data of tibial fracture internal fixation;

[0111] Reconstructing a three-dimensional finite element analysis model of the tibial fracture internal fixation according to the three-dimensional clinical medical scanning data;

[0112] According to the point cloud scanning density of the internally fixed bone defect repair bracket in the three-dimensional clinical medical scanning data, the bone defect area is identified on the three-dimensional finite element analysis model, and the regional contour of the bone defect area is marked;

[0113] The marked area outline is copied and removed, and the space surrounded by the area outline is simulated and filled to simulate and generate a three-dimensional model of the bone defect repair scaffold.

[0114] The present invention utilizes finite element simulation software to perform simulation construction and analysis of three-dimensional models, and selects finite element software suitable for biomedical engineering analysis, such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, COMSOL, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0115] According to the three-dimensional clinical medical scanning data, the detailed steps of reconstructing the three-dimensional finite element analysis model of tibial fracture internal fixation are as follows:

[0116] Data acquisition:

[0117] The three-dimensional data of the tibial fracture site were obtained by CT scanning.

[0118] 3D Reconstruction:

[0119] Import the CT data into professional software (such as Mimics) and perform threshold segmentation, region growing and other processing to generate a three-dimensional model of the tibia and surrounding tissues.

[0120] The tibia model was exported and further processed in software such as Geomagic to generate a geometric model.

[0121] Constructing the internal fixation device:

[0122] Construct a 3D model of the internal fixation device (such as a screw) in software such as Solidwork.

[0123] Finite element analysis pre-processing:

[0124] The models of the tibia and internal fixation device were imported into software such as Hypermesh for meshing.

[0125] Assign material properties, construct ligaments, and set loads and interactions in software such as Abaqus.

[0126] Combination Figure 2As shown, because the internal fixation bracket is different from the bone in the three-dimensional scanning image of the bone, it will be differentially developed, and the corresponding scanning image density displayed in different scanning sequences is also different. Therefore, the contour of the bone defect area can be marked according to the difference in scanning data.

[0127] To identify the bone defect area on the 3D finite element analysis model and mark the contour of the area based on the point cloud scan density of the internal fixation bone defect repair bracket in the 3D clinical medical scan data, the following steps can be followed:

[0128] 1. Data preparation:

[0129] Import 3D clinical medical scan data, which typically includes DICOM files generated by CT or MRI scans.

[0130] Import the CAD model of the internal fixation bone defect repair scaffold and ensure that it is aligned with the scan data in the coordinate system.

[0131] 2. Point cloud processing:

[0132] Point cloud data were extracted from the scan data, with a particular focus on the area associated with the bone defect repair scaffold.

[0133] The point cloud scan density is analyzed to identify areas of abnormal or missing density that may correspond to bone defects.

[0134] 3. Update of 3D finite element model:

[0135] The identified bone defect area information is mapped onto the three-dimensional finite element analysis model.

[0136] In the finite element model, the contour of the bone defect area was marked based on the analysis results of the point cloud scan density.

[0137] 4. Contour marking:

[0138] Use appropriate graphical tools or software functions to clearly mark the outline of the bone defect area on the 3D finite element model. Figure 2 Outline of the area marked as shown.

[0139] This can be achieved by creating boundary conditions, surface markers, or specific geometry so that it can be easily identified in subsequent analysis.

[0140] 5. Subsequent analysis:

[0141] Further finite element analysis, such as stress distribution and displacement, is performed using the marked bone defect area information.

[0142] Based on the analysis results, the effect of the internal fixation bone defect repair scaffold was evaluated and guidance was provided for subsequent clinical treatment.

[0143] Through the above steps, the bone defect area can be accurately identified and marked on the three-dimensional finite element analysis model, providing strong support for subsequent analysis and treatment.

[0144] For the marked area contour, the model body of the three-dimensional area contour area can be copied and moved out in the finite element three-dimensional application software, and the space surrounded by the area contour can be simulated and filled to simulate and generate the three-dimensional model of the bone defect repair scaffold.

[0145] S2. According to the linear trend of the bone defect area, the three-dimensional model of the bone defect repair scaffold is divided into a number of scaffold sub-models pi (i=1, 2, 3.....1000), and a corresponding finite element model analysis parameter S is configured for each of the scaffold sub-models p(i):

[0146] make:

[0147] Si=(E0,σ(i),G F (i)),

[0148] in:

[0149] σ(i)=G F (i) / A(i),

[0150] E0 is the initial elastic model value set for each of the bracket sub-models p(i);

[0151] σ(i) is the stress value of each of the stent sub-models p(i) under the corresponding finite element simulated physiological load;

[0152] G F (i) a finite element simulated physiological load configured for the stent sub-model p(i), the finite element simulated physiological load being generated by finite element simulation according to the physiological weight of the patient at the part corresponding to the stent sub-model p(i);

[0153] A(i) is the stress cross-sectional area of ​​each of the bracket sub-models p(i);

[0154] In order to improve the efficiency of the analysis, this department divides the model into several sub-models along the direction of the bone defect, and performs finite element simulation analysis on each sub-model to complete the analysis of the entire bone defect repair scaffold. Through unit division and analysis, the bone defect area can be analyzed in detail, and the practicality of the bone defect repair scaffold can be further accurately analyzed and tested.

[0155] When dividing the sub-models, in order to divide the three-dimensional model of the bone defect repair scaffold into several scaffold sub-models according to the linear trend of the bone defect area, the following steps can be followed:

[0156] 1. Analyze the bone defect area:

[0157] Carefully study the three-dimensional clinical medical scanning data, especially the linear direction and morphology of the bone defect area.

[0158] Determine the main axes or characteristic lines of the bone defect area, which will serve as the basis for dividing the scaffold sub-model.

[0159] 2. Determine the partitioning strategy:

[0160] According to the linear orientation of the bone defect area, decide how to divide the scaffold sub-model.

[0161] It is possible to consider dividing the bracket into multiple parts along the main axis, with each part corresponding to a sub-model.

[0162] Make sure that the divided sub-models can completely cover the bone defect area and that there is a certain overlap or connection area between the sub-models to ensure the integrity and stability after repair.

[0163] 3. Create the bracket sub-model:

[0164] Use three-dimensional modeling software (such as CAD software) to open the three-dimensional model of the bone defect repair scaffold.

[0165] According to the determined division strategy, the stent model is divided into several stent sub-models using the cutting tool or Boolean operation function of the software.

[0166] Name and number each sub-model to facilitate subsequent management and assembly.

[0167] 4. Optimize sub-model design:

[0168] Check the shape and size of each scaffold sub-model to ensure that it meets the repair requirements of the bone defect area.

[0169] Make necessary adjustments and optimizations to the sub-model, such as modifying the shape, adjusting the size, adding connection structures, etc., to improve the repair effect and stability.

[0170] The divided scaffold sub-model was compared with the original bone defect repair scaffold model to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the division.

[0171] Carry out necessary simulation tests or experimental verification to evaluate the performance and effect of the divided bracket sub-model in practical applications.

[0172] 5. Assembly and fixing:

[0173] In practical applications, the divided bracket sub-models are assembled and fixed as needed.

[0174] Use appropriate connectors or fixtures to ensure that the sub-models are tightly connected to form a stable overall structure.

[0175] Through the above steps, the three-dimensional model of the bone defect repair scaffold can be divided into several scaffold sub-models according to the linear direction of the bone defect area, so as to provide convenience and support for subsequent repair surgery or treatment.

[0176] After the division, the finite element parameters are configured, mainly configuring the corresponding finite element model analysis parameters S for each of the bracket sub-models p(i):

[0177] E0 is the initial elastic model value set for each of the bracket sub-models p(i);

[0178] σ(i) is the stress value of each of the stent sub-models p(i) under the corresponding finite element simulated physiological load;

[0179] G F (i) is the finite element simulated physiological load configured for the stent sub-model p(i), and the finite element simulated physiological load is generated through finite element simulation according to the physiological weight of the patient at the corresponding part of the stent sub-model p(i).

[0180] Finite element simulation of physiological loads, which are added by the user.

[0181] S3, performing finite element simulation analysis to calculate the strain value ε(i) borne by each of the stent sub-models p(i) under the corresponding finite element simulated physiological load;

[0182] In order to perform finite element simulation analysis and calculate the strain value ε(i) of each stent sub-model (p(i)) under the corresponding finite element simulated physiological load, the following steps can be taken:

[0183] 1. Preparatory stage

[0184] 2. Pre-treatment

[0185] a. Constructing finite element model

[0186] Import the geometric data of the bracket sub-model into the finite element software.

[0187] The model is simplified as necessary to reduce the amount of computation while retaining key features.

[0188] b. Grid division

[0190] Ensure the quality of the mesh and avoid deformed meshes that affect calculation accuracy.

[0191] c. Define material properties

[0193] If material properties vary with conditions such as temperature and humidity, the effects of these factors need to be considered.

[0194] d. Apply boundary conditions and loads

[0195] According to the actual situation, appropriate boundary conditions are applied to the bracket sub-model.

[0199] Select the appropriate solver based on the analysis type (static, dynamic, nonlinear, etc.).

[0200] b. Run the simulation

[0201] Start the solver and perform finite element simulation analysis.

[0202] Monitor the solution process to ensure that the analysis converges.

[0203] 4. Post-processing

[0204] a. Extraction results

[0205] Extract analysis results from the solver including displacements, stresses, strains, and more.

[0206] Special attention is paid to the strain value ε(i) of the scaffold sub-model under physiological load.

[0207] The calculation formula of the strain value ε(i) is as follows:

[0208]

[0209] in,

[0210] and are the displacement components of the support sub-model p(i) in the u and v coordinate axis directions,

[0211] and The strain components of the support sub-model p(i) in the x and y coordinate directions, u, v coordinates, and the conversion functions between x, y coordinates are as follows:

[0212] x=f(u,v),

[0213] y=g(u,v).

[0214] The specific parameters can be calculated according to the user's input.

[0215] b. Data processing

[0216] The extracted strain values ​​are collated and analyzed.

[0217] Calculate statistics such as average strain, maximum strain, and minimum strain.

[0218] c. Result visualization

[0219] Use the visualization tool of the finite element software to display the strain distribution of the bracket sub-model.

[0220] The size and distribution of strain values ​​are intuitively represented by means of colors, contour lines, etc.

[0221] Through the above steps, you can complete the finite element simulation analysis and calculate the strain values ​​of each stent sub-model (p(i)) under the corresponding finite element simulated physiological load. These strain values ​​are of great significance for evaluating the performance, stability and safety of the stent.

[0222] S4, judging whether the strain value ε(i) of each of the bracket sub-models p(i) satisfies the following strain range value of normal bone manifestation:

[0223] ε(i)∈{εmin(i0), εmax(i0)},

[0224] εmin(i0) is the minimum strain threshold set for each sub-model, and εmax(i0) is the maximum strain threshold set for each sub-model, which can be set according to the location of the bone defect area where each sub-model is located;

[0225] If it is satisfied, the bracket sub-model p(i) corresponding to the strain value ε(i) of the bracket sub-model p(i) that meets the conditions is bound; the strain value ε(i) corresponding to the qualified bracket sub-model p(i) is calculated here, and the binding facilitates the subsequent reading of qualified simulation analysis parameters;

[0226] If not, calculate the strain value ε(i) that satisfies the condition, including:

[0227] When ε(i)>εmax(i0):

[0228] make:

[0229] εt(i)=(1-k)εt(i-1),

[0230] When ε(i)≤εmin(i0):

[0231] make:

[0232] εt(i)=(1+k)εt(i-1),

[0233] in,

[0234] i is the number of times the strain value of the stent sub-model p(i) is calculated,

[0235] The value of k is 2.5~15%,

[0236] εt(i-1) is the strain value of the previous bracket sub-model p(i),

[0237] εt(i) is the strain value of the bracket sub-model p(i) at this time;

[0238] After the calculation is completed, the bracket sub-model p(i) corresponding to the strain value ε(i) of the bracket sub-model p(i) that meets the conditions is bound;

[0239] Here the strain values ​​are corrected:

[0240] When the strain value of the sub-model exceeds the maximum strain threshold of this time, it is necessary to perform a reduction correction. The strain value of the current sub-model p(i) is recalculated based on the strain value of the stent sub-model p(i) calculated last time. For example, if the value of k is 10%, the strain value of the stent sub-model p(i) recalculated this time is 90% of the last calculated result, thereby reducing its strain result and performing a correction of the qualified range.

[0241] If it is greater, it will be enlarged in the same way.

[0242] Through the above correction, the strain values ​​of all sub-models are in a qualified state and can be used for subsequent calculations and simulation analysis after correction.

[0243] S5. Traverse σ(i) and ε(i) of each of the bracket sub-models p(i) when the conditions are met, and calculate the elastic modulus E(i) corresponding to each of the bracket sub-models p(i):

[0244] E(i) = σ(i) / ε(i).

[0245] After the strain and elastic modulus simulation calculations of each sub-model,

[0246] Furthermore, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0247] Mark each of the support sub-models p(i) with a model id;

[0248] When the strain value ε(i) and the corresponding elastic modulus E(i) of each of the bracket sub-models p(i) are obtained:

[0249] Bind the strain value ε(i) and the corresponding elastic modulus E(i) of the stent sub-model p(i) to the model id of the corresponding stent sub-model p(i), and generate finite element model simulation parameters of each stent sub-model p(i);

[0250] The finite element model simulation parameters of the bracket sub-model p(i) are saved in the MySQL database.

[0251] Furthermore, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0252] When designing a bone defect scaffold, it is necessary to refer to the finite element model simulation parameters of the corresponding scaffold sub-model p(i):

[0253] According to the model id marked on the corresponding scaffold sub-model p(i), the finite element model simulation parameters bound to the model id are retrieved from the MySQL database, and the finite element model simulation parameters are returned to the front end for constructing a bone defect repair scaffold.

[0254] The present invention can extract the strain value and elastic modulus value of each scaffold sub-model by traversing, and obtain the strain value and elastic modulus value of the entire model by summing up each scaffold sub-model. When summing, weights can be assigned to each scaffold sub-model according to the linear trend of the bone defect area, and the model strain and elastic modulus parameters of the entire bone defect repair scaffold are obtained by summing the weights and the product of the strain value or elastic modulus value of each sub-model.

[0255] After the above sub-model division, the model can be marked with the model ID number to facilitate the construction of the corresponding sub-model simulation analysis directory, which is convenient for users to search by ID according to the number. After traversing and obtaining the corresponding parameters of the corresponding sub-model, it can be bound to the ID of the model, which is convenient for the administrator to query the corresponding data of each sub-model according to the ID.

[0256] By binding the ID, the access parameters of each sub-model can be generated and saved in the MYSQL database. If the user wants to query the sub-model of a certain bone defect area in the future, he can perform navigation query through the ID.

[0257] You can also configure the ID attributes of the sub-models. For example, the feature description of the defect area of ​​each model, the CT image of the feature defect area, etc. can all be bound to the ID and configured with corresponding attributes.

[0258] When constructing a bone defect repair scaffold, the repair parameters of a certain defect area can be designed based on the binding parameters of the sub-model of the area. For example, for a certain bone defect area, the ID of the corresponding sub-model can be retrieved in the MYSQL database based on its attributes, and the strain or elastic modulus parameters of the sub-model can be retrieved, so that users can design the bone defect repair scaffold of the corresponding area for reference.
