Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of bone cement injection leakage prevention, and particularly relates to a planning method, system, equipment and computer-readable storage medium for bone cement injection leakage prevention in cases of vertebral compression fracture. Background Technology

[0002] The common treatment for vertebral compression fractures is percutaneous injection of bone cement into the affected vertebra using specialized instruments, thereby increasing the vertebral body's strength and stability. If the bone cement is injected correctly, the patient experiences a short recovery time after the compression fracture, and may even be able to restore the vertebral body to its previous height. However, if the injection technique is poor, leading to extravasation of the bone cement, it may cause pulmonary embolism or other complications.

[0003] Currently, related technologies use sensor modules to monitor and determine the injection volume and timing of the bone cement injection module, thereby reducing bone cement leakage.

[0004] However, monitoring via sensor modules is cumbersome and has poor accuracy.

[0005] Therefore, how to quickly and accurately plan for preventing leakage during bone cement injection is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Choose the appropriate bone cement viscosity based on the type of fracture and the condition of the bone.

[0029] The amount of bone cement to be injected is calculated based on the volume and bone condition of the fracture area in the three-dimensional model.

[0030] By analyzing the three-dimensional model, the precise location of the fracture and the direction of the fracture crack are determined, and the injection site for bone cement is selected at the center of the fracture or at the largest crack.
