Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical security technology, and in particular to a method and system for risk assessment in orthopedic surgery. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional orthopedic surgical risk assessment mainly relies on static clinical indicators and two-dimensional imaging features, which has significant limitations. Existing technologies are mostly based on isolated data sources, lacking effective integration of multimodal data, and are unable to fully reflect individual patient differences. Traditional assessment models are only run once before surgery, and cannot perceive changes in bone-instrument interaction mechanics and fluctuations in vital signs in real time during surgery, resulting in delayed response to sudden risks. Existing finite element simulations mostly use population average parameters, ignoring key features such as patient-specific bone density distribution and microstructural anisotropy. Furthermore, postoperative complication prediction and long-term follow-up assessment are independent of each other, lacking a full-cycle risk management framework covering "intraoperative-perioperative-long-term".

[0036] The micromotion threshold of the bone implant interface after internal fixation device implantation includes the strain signal of the piezoelectric film array on the implant surface, the change of bone acoustic wave propagation characteristics, and the interface gap data of intraoperative OCT imaging in the implantation characteristic orthopedic surgical data. A three-dimensional feature vector of micromotion amplitude, frequency, and spatial distribution is established to determine whether the current micromotion mode belongs to the high-risk type and obtain a Class II risk result.
[0037] The impact of hemodynamic changes on the bone healing microenvironment includes generating a four-dimensional bone healing progress map based on blood flow simulation results, quantifying local repair capacity using the MAI metabolic activity index, determining the warning line of MAI in a region for 5 consecutive minutes, and obtaining three types of risk results;
[0038] The risk status of orthopedic surgery is obtained by dynamically assigning weights to the three types of risk assessment results.
[0039] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention further includes an orthopedic surgery risk assessment system, comprising:
[0040] The surgical data acquisition module is used to acquire preoperative and intraoperative data of the patient's orthopedic surgery, and to perform data preprocessing on the preoperative and intraoperative data to obtain initial orthopedic surgical data.

The preoperative data includes at least: high-resolution CT images, MRI images, gait analysis data, serum bone metabolism markers, and susceptibility gene SNP loci; the intraoperative data includes at least: bone mineral density impedance signal, stress distribution of internal fixation devices, and time series of patients' vital signs.
[0046] The alignment submodule is used to align the CT and MRI images in the preoperative data with the intraoperative data in terms of space and time using an affine transformation matrix, to detect outliers in the temporal data of the intraoperative data using the Grubbs test and to delete the detected outliers, and to process the gene data using hierarchical standardization to obtain the first orthopedic surgery data.
[0047] A submodule is obtained, which enhances the image data in the first orthopedic surgery data, and then corrects the gene data and phenotypic data through KL divergence distribution to obtain the initial orthopedic surgery data.

[0051] The extraction submodule is used to adjust the correlation strength of the cascaded feature extraction network in extracting the initial orthopedic surgical data by adjusting the real-time biosignal change rate, so as to obtain feature orthopedic surgical data.
[0052] Its beneficial effects lie in effectively integrating fragmented data and eliminating noise interference by fusing preoperative imaging data with intraoperative biomechanical signals, forming structured initial orthopedic surgical data, and solving the problems of isolated data and inconsistent formats in traditional surgery. The cascaded feature extraction network overcomes the limitations of single-modal data; simultaneously, the cross-modal attention mechanism strengthens the semantic association between different modalities by calculating the correlation weights between imaging data and biosignals, achieving in-depth analysis of skeletal biomechanical behavior and instrument-bone interface interaction in the surgical scenario, avoiding the feature omission problem caused by modal fragmentation in traditional methods. The patient-specific bone model constructed based on finite element analysis can accurately reflect the geometric morphology, material properties, and biomechanical characteristics of individual bones, solving the problem of the disconnect between traditional general models and the actual patient situation. By simulating in real time the effects of different osteotomy angles and internal fixation implantation schemes on joint contact stress, interface micromotion threshold, and hemodynamics, it can provide surgeons with a pre-assessment of surgical outcomes and support dynamic adjustment of surgical plans during surgery. By quantitatively analyzing the impact of surgical procedures on the skeletal biomechanical environment, empirical surgical decisions are transformed into data-driven precision control, significantly reducing complications caused by improper operation and improving surgical success rates.

[0086] Step 104: Simulate the joint contact stress distribution under different osteotomy angles in real time, and the influence of the micromotion threshold and hemodynamic changes of the bone implant interface after internal fixation device implantation on the bone healing microenvironment to obtain the risk status of orthopedic surgery.
[0087] Specifically, in this embodiment, the real-time simulation of joint contact stress distribution under different osteotomy angles includes calculating the angle change range with a resolution of 0.1° based on characteristic orthopedic surgical data, determining the peak value and distribution pattern of joint contact stress at each angle, and obtaining a risk result.

A three-dimensional feature vector of micromotion amplitude, frequency, and spatial distribution is established to determine whether the current micromotion mode belongs to the high-risk type and obtain the second-class risk result.
[0089] The impact of hemodynamic changes on the bone healing microenvironment includes generating a four-dimensional bone healing progress map based on blood flow simulation results, quantifying local repair capacity using the MAI metabolic activity index, determining the warning line of MAI in a region for 5 consecutive minutes, and obtaining three types of risk results;

When the local blood flow decreases by 30% from the baseline and lasts for more than 2 minutes, the hemostatic device standby mode is activated. Based on the patient's anatomical variation data, a 3mm dynamic buffer zone is generated around the blood vessels and nerve pathways. When the device touches the buffer zone, an optical flashing warning is triggered.
[0093] Short-term complications include triggering gradient compression stocking wearing reminders and anticoagulant dosage adjustment recommendations when the peak blood flow velocity decreases by 40% and D-dimer >5 mg / L, based on lower extremity venous ultrasound elastography data.

[0095] Its beneficial effects lie in effectively integrating fragmented data and eliminating noise interference by fusing preoperative imaging data with intraoperative biomechanical signals, forming structured initial orthopedic surgical data, and solving the problems of isolated data and inconsistent formats in traditional surgery. The cascaded feature extraction network overcomes the limitations of single-modal data; simultaneously, the cross-modal attention mechanism strengthens the semantic association between different modalities by calculating the correlation weights between imaging data and biosignals, achieving in-depth analysis of skeletal biomechanical behavior and instrument-bone interface interaction in the surgical scenario, avoiding the feature omission problem caused by modal fragmentation in traditional methods. The patient-specific bone model constructed based on finite element analysis can accurately reflect the geometric morphology, material properties, and biomechanical characteristics of individual bones, solving the problem of the disconnect between traditional general models and the actual patient situation. By simulating in real time the effects of different osteotomy angles and internal fixation implantation schemes on joint contact stress, interface micromotion threshold, and hemodynamics, it can provide surgeons with a pre-assessment of surgical outcomes and support dynamic adjustment of surgical plans during surgery.

[0099] Step 203: After enhancing the imaging data in the first orthopedic surgery data, the gene data and phenotypic data will be corrected by KL divergence distribution to obtain the initial orthopedic surgery data.
