[0032] The accuracy measurement device and accuracy measurement method of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system provided by the present application will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] The present application provides an accuracy measurement device for a knee joint replacement surgery navigation system. The accuracy measurement device for the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system includes a first test piece and a second test piece.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the first test piece provided by an embodiment of the present application with a first laser emitter placed thereon. As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the first test piece 10 includes a first main body 11, at least four support members 12 provided on the first main body 11, a plurality of first groove points 111 for placing optical probes, and a first optical array 13.

[0035] Optionally, the number of support members can be 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, etc. As Figure 1 shown, the number of support members can be 6. The at least four support members 12 include support member A, support member B, support member C, support member D, support member E, and support member F.

[0036] Optionally, the number of the first groove points 111 can be 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, etc. As Figure 1 shown, the number of the first groove points 111 can be 6.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a front view schematic diagram of the first test piece provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the first end of the support member 12 away from the first main body 11 includes a first recess 121 for placing the Figure 1 first laser reflector O1 in. The distances from the first ends of at least three support members 12 to the surface of the first main body 11 are different from each other.

[0038] As Figure 2As shown, optionally, the distances between the first ends of the plurality of support members 12 and the surface of the first body 11 are different from each other. In this way, in the precision measurement method, the first planes determined based on the first coordinates of the first laser reflector combinations placed on the first recesses of every three support members are different, facilitating multiple precision measurements.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, optionally, the first body 11 is a cuboid.

[0040] Exemplarily, the length L of the first body 11 is 250 millimeters (mm), the width W is 150 mm, and the height H is 80 mm.

[0041] Optionally, the support member is a cylinder.

[0042] Optionally, the cylinder can be divided into a straight cylinder and an inclined cylinder. The cylinder can include a prism, a cylinder, etc.

[0043] In some embodiments, the plurality of support members are parallel to each other.

[0044] In some embodiments, the support member is disposed on the first surface of the first body, and the support member is perpendicular to the first surface. At this time, the support member can be a straight cylinder.

[0045] Optionally, the first laser reflector can be a sphere. For example, the first laser reflector can be a laser target ball. The first laser reflector can also be other objects that can reflect laser, and the shape of the laser reflector is not limited herein.

[0046] Preferably, the support member can be a straight cylinder. In this way, it is possible to facilitate the machining of the support member.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first recess is a spherical groove. When the first laser reflector is a laser target ball, the spherical groove can limit the movement of the first laser reflector, so that the first laser reflector can be stably placed in the first recess.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the material of the first laser reflector is a magnetic metal, the first end of the support member can have magnetism. Magnetic metal is a metal that can be attracted by a magnet. In this way, it is possible to further stably place the laser reflector at the first end of the support member.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second end of the support member connected to the first body includes a first connecting portion. The support member is detachably connected to the first body through the first connecting portion.

[0050] Optionally, the ways for the support member to be detachably connected to the first body include snap fit, thread, magnetic attraction, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0051] Exemplarily, when the support member is threadedly connected to the first body, the first connecting portion may include an external thread, and the first body may include an internal threaded hole that matches the first connecting portion.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the first optical array 13 is disposed on the second surface of the first body 11, and the second surface is different from the first surface on which the support member 12 is disposed. In this way, when a laser tracker emits a laser towards the laser reflector, the laser can be prevented from hitting the first optical array, thereby avoiding measurement errors.

[0053] Optionally, the second surface and the first surface are adjacent surfaces.

[0054] Optionally, the first optical array 13 is detachably connected to the first body 11.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a perspective view of the second test piece of the precision measurement device provided by the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the precision measurement device 1 includes a first test piece 10 and a second test piece 20. As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the second test piece 20 includes a second body 21 and a second optical array 22 disposed on the second body 21.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 4 which is a perspective view of the second body of the second test piece provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 which is a top view of the second body of the second test piece provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 which is a front view of the second body of the second test piece provided by the embodiment of the present application. As Figures 3 to 6 shown, in some embodiments, the second body 21 includes a plurality of second groove points 211 for placing optical probes and at least three second recessed portions 212 for placing second laser reflectors.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second body 21 includes a second connecting portion 213, and the second body 21 is detachably connected to the second optical array 22 through the second connecting portion 213.

[0058] Optionally, the second laser reflector may be a sphere, for example, the second laser reflector may be a laser target ball. The second laser reflector may also be other objects that can reflect laser light, and the shape of the laser reflector is not limited herein.

[0059] Optionally, the number of the second recessed portions may be 3, 4, 5, etc. The number of the second groove points may be 3, 4, 5, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second recess 212 is a spherical groove. When the laser reflector is a laser target ball, the spherical groove can restrict the movement of the second laser reflector, so that the second laser reflector can be stably placed in the second recess.

[0061] Optionally, when multiple second laser reflectors are placed in the second recess one by one, the multiple second recesses can make the centers of all the second laser reflectors lie on a preset plane, and the preset plane is parallel to the surface of the second body close to the second laser reflector.

[0062] Furthermore, the second test piece can be an osteotomy guide plate used in knee joint replacement surgery. At this time, the second body further includes a guiding groove. The preset plane can be parallel to the movement plane formed by the movement of the osteotomy knife inserted into the guiding groove, and this movement plane can also be referred to as the osteotomy plane. In this way, when multiple second laser reflectors are placed in the second recess one by one, the position of the osteotomy plane can be determined by determining the centers of the second laser reflectors, so as to facilitate subsequent accuracy measurement of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system. At the same time, the second test piece is also an osteotomy guide plate and can be directly applied to knee joint replacement surgery.

[0063] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the second body 21 further includes a third connecting portion 214. Please refer to Figure 7 again, Figure 7 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the second test piece connected to the moving device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 7 shown, the second body 21 can be connected to the moving device 23 through the third connecting portion 214. The second test piece 20 can be moved by the moving device 23 so that the second test piece 20 is in a target pose.

[0064] Optionally, the moving device can be a robotic arm. The moving device can be manually controlled to move or can be controlled by a motor to move. The present application does not limit the moving manner of the moving device. Thus, the accuracy measurement device of the present application can be applied to an automated navigation system integrated with a robotic arm and a pure navigation system without a robotic arm.

[0065] Optionally, the robotic arm can be a universal arm.

[0066] In the accuracy measurement method using the accuracy measurement device as described above, the first test piece can be used to represent the patient's bone, and the second test piece can be used to represent the osteotomy guide plate used in the osteotomy process.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 8 again, Figure 8It is a schematic flowchart of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 8 shown, the knee joint replacement surgery navigation method includes: step S101 to step S110.

[0068] Step S101: In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, when at least three first recesses of the first test piece of the precision measurement device are placed with first laser reflectors, take a photo of the first test piece to obtain a first image.

[0069] Among them, the first test piece includes a first optical array. The first optical array includes a plurality of light reflectors. In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, control the optical camera to take a photo of the first test piece, and the plurality of light reflectors of the first optical array will reflect light, so that the first image will include a characteristic area representing the first optical array.

[0070] Step S102: Identify the characteristic area of the first optical array in the first image, and determine the first coordinates of each first laser reflector in the space coordinate system based on the characteristic area of the first optical array.

[0071] In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, the conversion relationship between the coordinate system of the first optical array and the coordinate system of the first test piece is pre-stored. After identifying the characteristic area of the first optical array in the first image, the coordinates of the first optical array in the space coordinate system can be calculated according to the characteristic area of the first optical array in the first image and the image coordinate system. Furthermore, according to the coordinates of the first optical array in the space coordinate system and the conversion relationship between the coordinate system of the first optical array and the coordinate system of the first test piece, the coordinates of each support on the first test piece in the space coordinate system can be calculated, and the first coordinates of each first laser reflector placed on the support in the space coordinate system can be calculated according to the coordinates of each support in the space coordinate system.

[0072] Optionally, it can be determined which supports are placed with first laser reflectors according to the first image or user instructions.

[0073] Step S103: Select three first coordinates to determine a first plane.

[0074] In some embodiments, step S103 includes step S1031 to step S1033.

[0075] Step S1031: Divide all the first coordinates into a first selection group and a second selection group according to a preset rule.

[0076] Among them, the first selection group includes at least two first coordinates, and the second selection group includes at least one first coordinate.

[0077] In some embodiments, a plurality of support members are divided into a first support member group and a second support member group. According to the support member group to which the support member for placing the first laser reflector belongs, the selection group to which the first coordinate of the first laser reflector belongs can be determined. Among them, one support member group corresponds to one selection group of the first coordinates. For example, if the support member belongs to the first support member group, the first coordinates of the first laser reflector placed on the support member belong to the first selection group.

[0078] Optionally, the first support member group includes at least two support members, and the second support member group includes at least two support members.

[0079] Exemplarily, the first support member group may include support member A, support member B, and support member C, and the second support member group may include support member D, support member E, and support member F. The first coordinates of the first laser reflectors placed on support member A, support member B, and support member C all belong to the first selection group, and the first coordinates of the first laser reflectors placed on support member D, support member E, and support member F belong to the second selection group.

[0080] Step S1032: Select two first coordinates from the first selection group and one first coordinate from the second selection group to obtain three selected first coordinates.

[0081] Optionally, two first coordinates are selected from the first selection group according to a user instruction or randomly, and one first coordinate is selected from the second selection group to obtain three selected first coordinates.

[0082] Step S1033: Determine a first plane based on the three selected first coordinates.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 which is a schematic diagram of the first plane provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 9 shown, exemplarily, the first coordinates of the first laser reflector O1 placed on support member A and support member B of the first test piece 10 can be selected, and the first coordinate of the first laser reflector O1 placed on support member F can be selected to obtain three selected first coordinates, and then the first plane P1 is determined.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the first plane is determined multiple times to determine the first standard plane and the second standard plane multiple times, the first planes determined multiple times are not coplanar. In this way, compared with the method in which the first planes are coplanar in multiple measurements, the measurement error can be reduced.

[0085] In some embodiments, when at least four support members are disposed on the first body, the distances between the first ends of at least three support members and the surface of the first body are different from each other. Further, the distances between the first ends of the plurality of support members and the surface of the first body are different from each other. In this way, in the precision measurement method, the first planes determined based on the first coordinate combinations of the first laser reflectors placed on every three support members are different, which is convenient for multiple precision measurements.

[0086] In some embodiments, when determining the first plane multiple times to determine the first standard plane and the second standard plane multiple times, the first coordinates of the first laser reflectors placed on the first recesses of the support members of each first test piece are selected at least once.

[0087] Exemplarily, when determining the first plane for the first time, the first coordinates of the first laser reflectors placed on support member A and support member B can be selected, and the first coordinates of the first laser reflector placed on support member F can be selected to obtain three selected first coordinates, and then the first plane is determined. When determining the first plane for the second time, the first coordinates of the first laser reflectors placed on support member C and support member D can be selected, and the first coordinates of the first laser reflector placed on support member E can be selected to obtain three selected first coordinates, and then the first plane is determined. At this time, the first coordinates of the first laser reflectors placed on each support member are selected at least once. Moreover, the first planes determined multiple times are not coplanar. In this way, the measurement error can be further reduced.

[0088] Optionally, only 3 first laser reflectors can be placed on the first test piece each time, or more than 3 first laser reflectors can be placed all the time. For example, during the measurement process, 6 first laser reflectors can be placed on the first test piece all the time.

[0089] Step S104: When second laser reflectors are placed in the three second recesses of the second test piece of the precision measurement device, take a photo of the second test piece to obtain a second image.

[0090] Wherein, the second test piece includes a second optical array. The second optical array includes a plurality of light reflecting members. In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, controlling the optical camera to take a photo of the second test piece, and the plurality of light reflecting members of the second optical array will reflect light, so that the second image will include a characteristic area representing the second optical array.

[0091] Optionally, it can be determined which second recesses have second laser reflectors placed therein according to the second image or a user instruction.

[0092] Step S105: Identify the characteristic area of the second optical array in the second image, and determine the second coordinates of each second laser reflector in the space coordinate system based on the characteristic area of the second optical array.

[0093] In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, the conversion relationship between the coordinate system of the second optical array and the coordinate system of the second test piece is pre-stored. After identifying the characteristic region of the second optical array in the second image, the coordinates of the second optical array in the spatial coordinate system can be calculated based on the characteristic region of the second optical array in the second image and the image coordinate system. Furthermore, based on the coordinates of the second optical array in the spatial coordinate system and the conversion relationship between the coordinate system of the second optical array and the coordinate system of the second test piece, the coordinates of each second recess on the second test piece in the spatial coordinate system can be calculated. According to the coordinates of each second recess in the spatial coordinate system, the second coordinates of each second laser reflector placed on the second recess in the spatial coordinate system can be calculated.

[0094] Step S106: Determine the second plane based on the three second coordinates.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 which is a schematic diagram of the second plane provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 10 shown, second laser reflectors O2 are placed on all three second recesses 212. The second plane P2 can be determined based on the second coordinates of the three second laser reflectors O2.

[0096] Steps S101 to S106 are all executed by the electronic device controlling the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system.

[0097] In some embodiments, after step S103, when second laser reflectors are placed on the three second recesses of the second test piece of the precision measurement device, the second test piece is moved by manual or motor control. The motor can also be controlled by the electronic device. The electronic device controls the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system to execute steps S104 to S106 at intervals of a preset time to continuously determine the second plane multiple times, and controls the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system to calculate the error between the first plane and the second plane to determine whether the first plane and the second plane are coplanar.

[0098] When controlling the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system to execute steps S101 to S106, the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system determines the first plane and the second plane based on the first image and the second image that are optical images respectively.

[0099] Step S107: When it is determined in the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system that the first plane and the second plane are coplanar, control the laser tracker to emit laser to each first laser reflector used to determine the first plane, and obtain the first standard coordinates of the three first laser reflectors in the spatial coordinate system.

[0100] The laser tracker uses laser for measurement, while the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system uses optical images for measurement. Therefore, the measurement accuracy of the laser tracker is greater than that of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, and the laser tracker can be used to measure the accuracy of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system.

[0101] Step S108: Control the laser tracker to emit laser to each second laser reflector, and obtain the second standard coordinates of the three second laser reflectors in the space coordinate system.

[0102] Step S109: Determine the first standard plane based on the three first standard coordinates, and determine the second standard plane based on the three second standard coordinates.

[0103] Step S110: Determine the accuracy of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system based on the error between the first standard plane and the second standard plane.

[0104] In some embodiments, step S110 includes steps S111 to S113.

[0105] Step S111: Calculate the distance between each first standard coordinate and the second standard plane.

[0106] In some embodiments, first calculate the normal vector of the second standard plane, and then calculate the distance between each first standard coordinate and the second standard plane according to each first standard coordinate and the normal vector of the second standard plane.

[0107] Step S112: Calculate the angle between the first standard plane and the second standard plane.

[0108] In some embodiments, first calculate the normal vector of the first standard plane, and then calculate the angle between the first standard plane and the second standard plane according to the normal vector of the first standard plane and the expression of the second standard plane.

[0109] Step S113: Determine the accuracy of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system based on the distance and the angle.

[0110] In some embodiments, the accuracy indicators of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system include the distance and the angle, the distance between each first standard coordinate and the second standard plane and the angle between the first standard plane and the second standard plane. The distance and the angle can be displayed for the user's reference.

[0111] In some embodiments, a preset method can be used to calculate the distance and the angle to obtain the accuracy indicators of the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system.

[0112] In some embodiments, the accuracy of the knee joint replacement surgical navigation system is determined based on multiple errors between the first standard plane and the second standard plane determined multiple times. At this time, steps S101 to S110 described above are executed multiple times.

[0113] Optionally, in step S110, the final accuracy of the knee joint replacement surgical navigation system can be determined based on the accuracy measured multiple times. For example, the indicators of the final accuracy can include the average value of the distances between each first standard coordinate and the second standard plane obtained by multiple measurements and the average value of the angles between the first standard plane and the second standard plane.

[0114] As described above, in some embodiments, when the first plane is determined multiple times to determine the first standard plane and the second standard plane multiple times, the first planes determined multiple times are not coplanar. In this way, compared with the way in which the first planes are coplanar in multiple measurements, the measurement error can be reduced.

[0115] In some embodiments, the first test piece includes multiple first groove points where optical probes can be placed, and the second test piece includes multiple second groove points where optical probes can be placed. When the optical probe is placed at the first groove point, the first test piece can be calibrated. When the optical probe is placed at the second groove point, the second test piece can be calibrated. At this time, before step S101, the accuracy measurement method further includes steps S001 to S004.

[0116] Step S001: In the knee joint replacement surgical navigation system, every time the tip point of the optical probe is placed at the first groove point of the first test piece, a third image is taken of the first test piece, thereby obtaining multiple third images.

[0117] Optionally, the tip point of the optical probe is placed at the first groove points in a preset order of the first groove points.

[0118] Step S002: Calibrate the first test piece based on all the third images.

[0119] In the knee joint replacement surgical navigation system, the coordinates of each first groove point in the coordinate system of the first test piece are pre-stored. Based on all the third images, the coordinates of each first groove point in the image coordinate system can be determined, and the specific position of the first test piece in the image coordinate system can be determined according to the coordinates of each first groove point in the image coordinate system and the coordinates of each first groove point in the coordinate system of the first test piece.

[0120] Step S003: Every time the tip point of the optical probe is placed at the second groove point of the second test piece, a fourth image is taken of the second test piece, thereby obtaining multiple fourth images.

[0121] Optionally, the tip points of the optical probe are sequentially placed at the second groove points according to the preset order of the second groove points.

[0122] Step S004: Calibrate the second test piece based on all the fourth images.

[0123] In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, the coordinates of each second groove point in the coordinate system of the second test piece are pre-stored. Based on all the fourth images, the coordinates of each second groove point in the image coordinate system can be determined. According to the coordinates of each second groove point in the image coordinate system and the coordinates of each second groove point in the coordinate system of the second test piece, the specific position of the second test piece in the image coordinate system can be determined.

[0124] Steps S001 to S004 are executed by the electronic device controlling the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system.

[0125] By the above method, the instrument calibration can be completed in the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, ensuring the positioning of the first test piece and the second test piece in the same coordinate system, and at the same time determining the relative position of the first test piece and the second test piece, so as to realize the navigation function.

[0126] In some embodiments, before step S001, the accuracy measurement method further includes steps S006 to S009.

[0127] Step S006: When at least three first recesses of the first test piece of the accuracy measurement device are provided with first laser reflectors, control the CT device to take a photo of the first test piece to obtain the CT image of the first test piece.

[0128] The Computed Tomography (CT) device can use rays to perform tomographic scanning on the first test piece to obtain a CT image.

[0129] Step S007: Input the CT image into the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system.

[0130] Step S008: In the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system, determine the coordinates of all the first laser reflectors in the space coordinate system based on the CT image.

[0131] The coordinates of the first laser reflector in the space coordinate system are the coordinates of the center of the first laser reflector in the space coordinate system. The center of the first laser reflector is the geometric center of the first laser reflector. When the first laser reflector is a laser target ball, the center of the laser target ball is the center of the ball of the laser target ball.

[0132] Step S009: Display the CT image and mark the coordinates of the first laser reflector in the space coordinate system on the CT image.

[0133] Steps S006 to S009 are executed by the electronic device controlling the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system.

[0134] In the above manner, the operation process in the entire knee joint replacement surgery can be simulated, making the measurement closer to the actual application scenario. In the precision measurement method, the first test piece can be used to represent the patient's bone, and the second test piece is the osteotomy guide plate used during the osteotomy process. Before the knee joint replacement surgery, generally, a CT image of the patient's bone is taken and displayed in the knee joint replacement surgery navigation system for the doctor's reference.

[0135] In summary, the knee joint replacement surgery navigation method provided by the embodiments of the present application has the following advantages: 1.

[0136] 2.

[0137] 3. By the method that when the first plane is determined multiple times to determine the first standard plane and the second standard plane multiple times, the first planes determined multiple times are not coplanar, compared with the method where the first planes are coplanar during multiple measurements, the measurement error can be reduced.

[0138] 4. By the method that the first coordinate of the first laser reflector placed on each support member is selected at least once, the measurement error can be further reduced.
