Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of prosthesis manufacturing, and particularly relates to a knee joint prosthesis design method and system, an electronic device and a product. BACKGROUND

[0002] Knee joint is the largest joint in human body, with complex anatomy and high requirement for movement function. Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a kind of endemic and chronic deforming osteoarthropathy, which is an independent bone and joint disease. The disease originates from epiphyseal cartilage, epiphyseal plate cartilage and articular cartilage during childhood development, causing degeneration and deep cartilage cell necrosis. Since the 1960s and 1970s, the prevalence of the disease and the gradual development of prevention methods have been carried out, and currently there is no reported new case of adolescent disease, and those who have suffered from the disease have entered middle age and have shown obvious deforming osteoarthritis of the lower extremity joints (hips, knees and ankles), which seriously damages the health of residents in the disease area and is one of the important public health problems.

[0003] KBD-induced knee osteoarthritis (hereinafter referred to as "KBD knee arthritis") seriously affects the walking, labor, work and daily life of patients. According to the diagnosis and treatment scheme of orthopedics, patients with knee arthritis need to replace the joint to restore basic mobility. At present, there is no artificial knee joint prosthesis suitable for KBD knee arthritis at home and abroad, and the artificial knee joint used by patients with KBD knee arthritis during surgery is usually "borrowed" from the existing artificial knee joint prosthesis for senile degenerative osteoarthritis. However, in the process of using the prior art, the inventors found that at least the following problems exist in the prior art:

[0004] Since the age of onset and pathological mechanism of KBD knee arthritis are different from those of senile degenerative osteoarthritis, that is, KBD knee arthritis gradually occurs on the basis of developmental abnormalities of the distal femur and proximal tibia in childhood, while senile degenerative osteoarthritis occurs on the basis of normally developed joints, therefore, the two are different in etiology, pathology, clinic and imaging, and there are obvious differences in the anatomical parameters of the tibia and femur. The artificial knee joint prosthesis in the prior art often has problems such as poor compatibility with the bones of KBD knee arthritis patients and low bone coverage, which may lead to problems such as fast wear, unstable movement function and short service life after surgery.

[0005] Accordingly, the inventors collected a sufficient amount of knee joint data of KBD knee arthritis patients and printed them into 3D models, simulated the replacement of the existing knee joint prosthesis on the models, and obtained the following measurement results:

[0006] 1) For tibial plateau prosthesis, the ratio of anterior-posterior (AP) / medial-lateral (ML) of market conventional product is about 0.66, while the ratio of AP / ML of KBD knee osteoarthritis patients is about 0.72, so the AP size of patient's tibial plateau is larger than that of market conventional knee joint under the condition of the same ML size, and the ML size of patient's tibial plateau is smaller than that of market conventional knee joint under the condition of the same AP size;

[0007] 2) For femoral condyle prosthesis, the ratio of AP / ML of market conventional product is about 0.87-0.90, while the ratio of AP / ML of KBD knee osteoarthritis patients is about 0.86, so the AP size of patient's femoral condyle is smaller than that of market conventional knee joint under the condition of the same ML size, and the ML size of patient's femoral condyle is larger than that of market conventional knee joint under the condition of the same AP size.

[0008] The above results show that if the existing artificial knee joint prosthesis on the market is used, the sagittal plane bone resection amount of KBD knee osteoarthritis patients will be increased, and the small ML value will cause the coronal plane bone coverage rate to be reduced, thereby causing unstable movement function, severely reducing the patient's proprioception, and making the patient's gait unnatural during daily activities, especially when going up and down stairs, which affects their normal life. In addition, the mismatch between the prosthesis and the bone also affects the service life of the prosthesis, causing the service life of the prosthesis to be short.

[0009] Therefore, it is necessary to study a design method of a knee joint prosthesis suitable for patients with KBD knee osteoarthritis to make up for the clinical actual blank and provide the best treatment result for patients. SUMMARY

[0049] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application or the prior art, the present application will be briefly introduced below in combination with the drawings and the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the drawings is only some embodiments of the present application, and for those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained without creative labor on the basis of these drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present application, but does not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0050] Example 1:

[0051] The present embodiment discloses a knee prosthesis design method, which can be executed by a computer device or a virtual machine with certain computing resources, such as a personal computer, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant, a wearable device, or the like, or by a virtual machine.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1 , a knee prosthesis design method can include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

[0053] S1. Construct an initial prosthesis design model for a specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient;

[0054] S2. Obtain knee joint image data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient, and obtain an image feature set according to the knee joint image data; wherein the knee joint image data and the image feature set are each provided with multiple groups, and multiple groups of the image feature set are respectively and correspondingly provided with multiple groups of the knee joint image data; it should be understood that in the embodiment, any image feature in the image feature set is bound with a feature label.

[0055] In step S2, the knee joint image data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient is obtained by CT scanning; correspondingly, after obtaining the knee joint image data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient in step S2, the method further comprises:

[0056] The knee joint image data is converted into color image data by using a pseudo-color processing method. Figure 2 A schematic diagram for converting the example knee joint image data (Fig. (a)) into color image data (Fig. (b)).

[0057] Specifically, the pseudo-color (also known as "B-color") processing method is an image processing method for converting black and white image display into color display, which can be used in all gray-scale displayed ultrasound images in principle. In the embodiment, in the process of converting the knee joint image data into color image data by using the pseudo-color processing method, the image amplitude (gray-scale display) of the knee joint image data is first divided into many color domains, and then the gray-scale display is converted into color display by using the pseudo-color coding method, so that the black and white image data becomes color image data. Since the human eye is not very sensitive to the gray-scale level, the sensitivity of the human eye to different image feature intensities can be enhanced after the black and white image is converted into color image, the dynamic range of the display signal is increased subjectively, and thus the recognizable degree of the image boundary of the knee joint image data can be enhanced.

[0058] In the embodiment, after obtaining the knee joint image data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient, the knee joint image data is further converted into color image data by using the pseudo-color processing method, which can solve the problem that the lesions and the properties of some surfaces of ordinary images are not easy to identify, and can facilitate to improve the accuracy of image feature extraction in the image feature set obtained subsequently and the relationship between the image features and the feature labels, more accurately establish the relationship between the image features and the feature labels, and also facilitate the user to further directly observe and diagnose the lesion condition of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient by using the color image data with the naked eye.

[0059] In step S2, after obtaining the image feature set according to the knee joint image data, the method further comprises:

[0060] The image features in the image feature set are denoised to obtain a denoised image feature set, so as to divide multiple groups of the denoised image feature set into a training set, a verification set and a test set.

[0061] It should be noted that the image noise in the image feature set comes from the internal texture and the surrounding background noise affecting the knee joint image data, and the image shape in different knee joint image data also has subtle changes. In the embodiment, the frequently occurring common features in multiple groups of image feature sets can be recognized through iterative training, so as to effectively eliminate the noise in the training sample, and at the same time, the subtle differences between different denoised image feature sets can be retained, so that the main shape features in the knee joint image data are learned.

[0062] S3. Divide multiple groups of the image feature set into a training set, a verification set and a test set; in the embodiment, multiple groups of the image feature set are randomly divided into a training set, a verification set and a test set. As an example, in the embodiment, the group number ratio of the image feature sets corresponding to the training set, the verification set and the test set can be set to 6:2:2, which is not limited here.

[0063] S4. Train the initial prosthesis design model using the training set to obtain an initial trained prosthesis design model.

[0064] The number of groups of the image feature set in the training set is m, and m is a natural number greater than 1. Correspondingly, in step S4, the initial prosthesis design model is trained using the training set to obtain an initial trained prosthesis design model, which includes:

[0065] S401. Obtain m groups of knee joint anatomical parameter sets corresponding to the m groups of image feature sets according to the m groups of image feature sets in the training set; wherein any group of knee joint anatomical parameter set includes medial-lateral (ML), anterior-posterior (AP), lateral anteroposterior (LAP), medial anteroposterior (MAP), medial condylar width (MCW) and / or lateral condylar width (LCW); it should be noted that the image feature set includes a plurality of knee joint anatomical parameters of KBD suitable for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), such as the above-mentioned medial-lateral, lateral anteroposterior, medial anteroposterior, medial condylar width and lateral condylar width, etc. which are not limited here.

[0066] In step S401, according to any one set of image feature sets in the training set, a set of knee joint anatomical parameters corresponding thereto is obtained, including:

[0067] S4011. A knee joint three-dimensional model is constructed according to the knee joint image data corresponding to any one set of image feature sets in the training set;

[0068] S4012. Knee joint anatomical parameter measurement is performed on the knee joint three-dimensional model to obtain a set of knee joint anatomical parameters matched with the current image feature set. Specifically, in the embodiment, Mimics (Materiaise's interactive medical image control system) software (a 3D image generation and editing processing software) is used to construct a knee joint three-dimensional model corresponding to the knee joint image data, so as to quickly obtain a set of knee joint anatomical parameters and perform subsequent model training.

[0069] S402. The initial prosthesis design model is trained using m sets of knee joint anatomical parameter sets to obtain an initial trained prosthesis design model.

[0070] S5. The initial trained prosthesis design model is adjusted in super parameters using the verification set to obtain an adjusted prosthesis design model.

[0071] S6. The adjusted prosthesis design model is evaluated using the test set, and a final prosthesis design model is obtained after the evaluation passes, so as to obtain a knee joint prosthesis structure model matched with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient according to the final prosthesis design model. For example, the latest knee joint image feature data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient is obtained, and then input into the final prosthesis design model to obtain a knee joint prosthesis structure model matched with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient. Then, the knee joint prosthesis matched with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient can be manufactured based on the knee joint prosthesis structure model. In the embodiment, the knee joint prosthesis manufactured according to the final prosthesis design model is manufactured according to the actual situation of the knee joint of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient, and has the highest matching degree with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient.

[0072] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the training set is used to train the initial prosthesis design model, and after the model is trained, the verification set is used to evaluate the model effect, and at the same time, the model is adjusted in super parameters to be in the best state. Then, the model is evaluated by the test set. At this time, evaluation indexes such as accuracy, precision and recall rate can be obtained to judge whether the model passes the evaluation, and a final prosthesis design model is obtained after the evaluation passes.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the knee joint prosthesis structure model includes a femoral condyle prosthesis structure model and a tibial plateau prosthesis structure model matched with the femoral condyle prosthesis structure model; in the tibial plateau prosthesis structure model, the connecting part of the tibial plateau and the medullary cavity stem is provided with an anti-rotation island wing structure, and the outer surface of the anti-rotation island wing structure is designed with a plurality of vertical grooves. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the design of the anti-rotation island wing structure and the plurality of vertical grooves on the outer surface thereof can increase the contact area between the tibial plateau prosthesis in the prosthesis and the tibial bone of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient, prevent loosening of the knee joint prosthesis, improve the stability of the knee joint prosthesis, and prolong the service life of the knee joint prosthesis.

[0074] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the knee joint prosthesis matched with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient is manufactured according to the final prosthesis design model, which is beneficial to optimize the AP / ML ratio of the femoral condyle prosthesis in the knee joint prosthesis, improve the coverage of the knee joint prosthesis and the bone, be closer to the natural shape of the femoral condyle, better simulate and restore the biomechanical properties of the knee joint of the patient, reduce stress concentration on the joint surface, reduce the risk of loosening and wear of the knee joint prosthesis, and thus prolong the service life of the knee joint prosthesis; in this embodiment, the design of the knee joint prosthesis is customized according to the condition of the knee joint of the patient, taking into account the specific condition of the patient, the morphology of the bone and the degree of joint damage, which can promote the prosthesis to simulate the movement trajectory of the natural knee joint after implantation, reduce the problem of joint wear and pain of the patient after surgery. In addition, in this embodiment, the knee joint prosthesis can be made by additive manufacturing process, and doctors can customize the treatment according to the individual differences of the patient to achieve the best effect, so as to further ensure that the knee joint prosthesis matches the bone structure of the patient, improve the surgical effect and patient comfort.

[0075] As an example, Figure 3 a schematic diagram of the installation of the femoral condyle prosthesis in the existing knee joint prosthesis and the patient's femur is given, Figure 3 Fig. (a) is a side view of the installation of a femoral condyle prosthesis and a patient's femur, in which the ML size of the femoral condyle prosthesis matches the patient's femur, and the AP size of the femoral condyle prosthesis is about 3 mm larger than the AP size of the patient's femur. The difference between the AP size of the femoral condyle prosthesis and the AP size of the patient's femur is the size difference d in the figure. Fig. (b) is a top view of the installation of another femoral condyle prosthesis and a patient's femur, in which the AP size of the femoral condyle prosthesis matches the AP size of the patient's femur, and the posterior condyle of the femoral condyle prosthesis is 3 mm smaller than the AP size of the patient's femur; Figure 4 a schematic diagram of the installation of the femoral condyle prosthesis in the knee joint prosthesis obtained based on this embodiment and the patient's femur is given, and the ML size and the AP size of the femoral condyle prosthesis match the patient's femur.Figure 5 Figures (a) and (b) are schematic diagrams of installation of two kinds of tibial platform prostheses in existing knee joint prostheses on patient tibia, wherein the AP size and the ML size of the two kinds of tibial platform prostheses cannot well meet the coverage of the patient's bone; Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of installation of a tibial platform prosthesis in a knee joint prosthesis obtained based on the present embodiment on patient tibia, and the tibial platform prosthesis obtained based on the present embodiment has higher matching degree with patient tibia.

[0076] The present embodiment can improve the matching degree between the knee joint prosthesis and the bone of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient, thereby improving the comfort of the patient after installing the knee joint prosthesis, and prolonging the service life of the knee joint prosthesis. Specifically, in the implementation process of the present embodiment, an initial prosthesis design model of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient is first constructed, then knee joint image data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient is obtained, and an image feature set is obtained based on the knee joint image data, then a plurality of sets of the image feature set are divided into a training set, a validation set and a test set, and a final prosthesis design model is obtained based on the training set, the validation set and the test set, so as to obtain a knee joint prosthesis structure model matched with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient based on the final prosthesis design model, and then a knee joint prosthesis matched with the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient is manufactured based on the knee joint prosthesis structure model. In this process, the present embodiment optimizes the initial prosthesis design model through the knee joint image data of the specified KBD knee osteoarthritis patient, which can improve the matching degree and bone coverage between the finally obtained knee joint prosthesis and the patient's bone, thereby reducing the joint wear of the patient, and further minimizing the stimulation of the patient's knee joint soft tissue caused by the mismatch of the prosthesis, thereby improving the postoperative patient satisfaction, the most natural motion function and gait, etc., and effectively prolonging the service life of the prosthesis.
