[0067] Referring to Figs. 1-3 as shown.

[0068] Embodiments further illustrate a method and system for dynamic path planning of anterior cruciate ligament tendon stripping.

[0069] A method for dynamic path planning of anterior cruciate ligament tendon stripping, the method comprising the following steps:

[0070] Obtaining anatomical structure data of the anterior cruciate ligament tendon and tissue characteristic parameters of the region to be stripped, and marking key monitoring points of the region to be stripped to obtain stripping monitoring points;

[0071] Statistically obtaining the spatial parameters to be measured from the spatial distance and tissue density difference value between adjacent stripping monitoring points;

[0072] Extracting historical tissue stress distribution characteristics of different anatomical structure types from historical anterior cruciate ligament tendon stripping surgery data, and statistically obtaining the path correction correlation factor between the stripping path deviation value and the spatial parameters to be measured in the historical surgery data according to the historical tissue stress distribution characteristics;

[0073] According to the anatomical structure data and tissue characteristic parameters of the tendon to be stripped, a pre-processing correction factor is extracted from the path correction correlation factor, and the stripping path trajectory at the key position of the tendon to be stripped is judged according to the pre-processing correction factor, to obtain a first path trajectory and a second path trajectory;

[0074] According to the first path trajectory and the second path trajectory, a comprehensive path deviation factor is statistically obtained, and according to the comprehensive path deviation factor, a tissue damage risk value generated by the tendon to be stripped in the stripping process due to path deviation is judged, to obtain a current damage risk value;

[0075] According to the current damage risk value, an optimal adjustment path is obtained.

[0076] The application firstly carries out the marking of the stripping monitoring points, obtains the total length and cross-sectional diameter of the tendon in the region to be stripped through the high-frequency ultrasonic imaging equipment, and clearly defines the basic size parameters of the tendon; marks the tendon attachment point as the first monitoring point and marks the free end of the tendon as the second monitoring point, and the two endpoints correspond to the starting and ending key positions of the stripping operation respectively, and according to the total length, cross-sectional diameter, first monitoring point and second monitoring point of the tendon, the sub-monitoring points are marked in the region to be stripped.

[0077] The three-dimensional coordinates of the adjacent stripping monitoring points are obtained through the electromagnetic positioning system, and then the spatial distance between the two points is calculated, and the tissue density data of the positions of the adjacent stripping monitoring points are extracted by using the gray value of the high-frequency ultrasonic image, and the density difference value is calculated, and the two parameters are associated and integrated to obtain the to-be-measured spatial parameter, which reflects the difference between the adjacent regions in the spatial position and the tissue composition.

[0078] Firstly, a large number of historical surgery databases of clinical cases are classified according to the types of tendon anatomical structures, and the corresponding historical tissue stress distribution characteristics of different types are extracted, including stress peak position and key information of stress conduction path; according to these stress distribution characteristics, the positions corresponding to the current monitoring points in each historical surgery are located, and the historical stripping path deviation values of these positions, i.e. the spatial deviation of the actual stripping path and the ideal path, are extracted; for each group of adjacent monitoring points, the historical path deviation values are processed by difference in combination with the corresponding to-be-measured spatial parameters to obtain the deviation of the local region; then the deviation value and the corresponding to-be-measured spatial parameter are calculated by ratio to obtain the to-be-measured deviation ratio, so as to quantify the path deviation degree corresponding to the unit spatial parameter; the historical case deviation ratio of the same anatomical type and similar to-be-measured spatial parameter is averaged to obtain the path correction correlation factor, which clearly reflects the influence law of the spatial parameter on the path deviation under the specific anatomy and tissue characteristics.

[0079] The stress data is collected by an intraoperative tension sensor, and the current tissue stress distribution characteristics of the tendon to be peeled are obtained by analyzing the tissue deformation of the ultrasound image. The current stress distribution characteristics are matched with the stress characteristics of different anatomical types in the historical database, and the path correction correlation factors corresponding to the high-matching historical cases are selected as the preprocessing correction factors to ensure that the factors are highly adapted to the anatomical characteristics of the current operation. Then, the key functional areas of the tendon, such as the fiber bundle dense area and the area adjacent to the nerve and blood vessel bundle, are extracted from the ultrasound image by using an image recognition algorithm. These areas are prone to serious injury due to path deviation, and therefore need to be focused on. The target position points are located by three-dimensional coordinate positioning of the key functional areas, and the spatial distances between the target position points and the first and second monitoring points and the tissue density difference values are calculated to obtain the first and second preprocessing parameters. At the same time, the tissue hardness of the main peeling area is detected by the tension sensor to back-calculate the initial peeling force value of the first monitoring point, thereby ensuring the stability of the initial peeling force. Finally, the optimal peeling path of the target position point is obtained by combining the first preprocessing parameter, the initial peeling force value and the preprocessing correction factor with the aid of a mechanical simulation model, so as to obtain the first path trajectory. The second path trajectory is obtained in the same way by combining the second preprocessing parameter.

[0080] The strain frequency of the tissue at the first monitoring point in the peeling preparation stage is detected by using a strain sensor, and the frequency reflects the stability of the tissue. The higher the frequency, the stronger the sensitivity of the tissue to path deviation. The actual deviation values of the first and second path trajectories are multiplied by the strain frequency to obtain the first and second injury risk factors, which quantize the risk degree of a single path. The two risk factors are summed to obtain a comprehensive path deviation factor, which comprehensively reflects the overall risk level of the two paths. The pre-established injury database is called, which contains the correlation data of different path deviation values, different strain frequencies and corresponding tissue injury risk values. The current comprehensive path deviation factor is matched with the database data to obtain the current injury risk value, which intuitively reflects the safety degree of the path implementation.

[0081] If the current injury risk value is greater than or equal to the preset tissue injury warning threshold, a path adjustment notification is output. A plurality of optimized peeling paths are generated in combination with the current tendon anatomical structure, stress distribution and to-be-measured spatial parameters, and all the paths avoid high-risk areas. The high-stress areas of each optimized path are located, and the stress intensity and area of the areas are collected to obtain auxiliary path stress characteristic data. The stress data of the original main peeling area is collected as main path stress characteristic data. The auxiliary path and main path stress characteristics of each optimized path are compared, and the optimized path with lower auxiliary path stress intensity and smaller high-stress area is selected as the final preferred adjustment path, which ensures that the path meets the peeling requirements while minimizing the risk of tissue injury, thereby providing dynamic guidance for surgical operation.

[0082] The key monitoring points of the region to be stripped are marked to obtain stripping monitoring points, specifically including the following steps:

[0083] The total length and cross-sectional diameter of the tendon to be stripped in the region to be stripped are obtained;

[0084] The key monitoring points of the tendon attachment point of the region to be stripped are marked to obtain the first monitoring point;

[0085] The key monitoring points of the proximal tendon free end of the region to be stripped are marked to obtain the second monitoring point;

[0086] The first monitoring point, the second monitoring point and the sub-monitoring point are combined to form a complete stripping monitoring point system. When calculating the spatial distance, tissue density difference and other parameters of adjacent monitoring points in the subsequent, these monitoring points are taken as the reference, and the positioning and anatomical feature reference are provided for the subsequent derivation of the stripping path and the assessment of the damage risk.

[0087] The first monitoring point, the second monitoring point and the sub-monitoring point are combined to form a complete stripping monitoring point system. When calculating the spatial distance, tissue density difference and other parameters of adjacent monitoring points in the subsequent, these monitoring points are taken as the reference, and the positioning and anatomical feature reference are provided for the subsequent derivation of the stripping path and the assessment of the damage risk.

[0088] First, the total length and cross-sectional diameter of the tendon to be stripped in the region to be stripped are obtained. The length and diameter of the tendon are measured in order to reasonably distribute the monitoring points later, so that the entire monitoring point system can fit the actual anatomical morphology of the tendon.

[0089] The tendon attachment point of the region to be stripped is marked as the first monitoring point. The tendon attachment point is a key position where the tendon is connected with the skeletal structure, and is the core reference in the initial stage of the stripping operation. The free end of the tendon is marked as the second monitoring point. The free end is a key transition position for the stripping operation, and the marking clearly defines the boundaries of the stripping path, providing a spatial range reference for the distribution of subsequent sub-monitoring points.

[0090] According to the total length and cross-sectional diameter of the tendon, and in combination with the spatial positions of the first monitoring point and the second monitoring point, sub-monitoring points are supplemented between them. If the total length of the tendon is 50mm, a sub-monitoring point is marked every 5-10mm. In combination with the differences in tissue density, sub-monitoring points can be added in areas with large density changes, so that the sub-monitoring points can cover all key anatomical areas in the course of the tendon running, fill the monitoring gaps between the first monitoring point and the second monitoring point, and make the entire monitoring system more detailed and comprehensive.

[0091] The first monitoring point, the second monitoring point and the sub-monitoring point are combined to form a complete stripping monitoring point system. When calculating the spatial distance, tissue density difference and other parameters of adjacent monitoring points in the subsequent, these monitoring points are taken as the reference, and the positioning and anatomical feature reference are provided for the subsequent derivation of the stripping path and the assessment of the damage risk.

[0092] According to the historical tissue stress distribution characteristics, the path correction correlation factor between the stripping path deviation value and the to-be-measured spatial parameter in the historical surgery data is statistically obtained, specifically including the following steps:

[0093] According to the historical stress distribution characteristics, the historical peeling path deviation value to which the peeling monitoring point belongs is extracted from the historical operation data;

[0094] According to the to-be-measured spatial parameter, the path deviation of adjacent peeling monitoring points in the historical peeling path deviation value is processed by difference to obtain a deviation value;

[0095] The deviation value and the to-be-measured spatial parameter are processed by ratio to obtain a to-be-measured deviation ratio;

[0096] All to-be-measured deviation ratios are processed by average to obtain a path correction correlation factor.

[0097] Path deviation information related to the current monitoring point is mined from historical operation data. According to the historical stress distribution characteristics, cases matching the current to-be-peeled tendon anatomical structure and tissue characteristics are screened, the positions of the peeling monitoring points in these cases are located, and the historical peeling path deviation values to which these monitoring points belong are extracted, that is, the spatial deviation of the actual peeling path and the standard path at the monitoring point position in the historical operation.

[0098] After obtaining the historical peeling path deviation value, the path deviation of adjacent peeling monitoring points is processed by difference in combination with the to-be-measured spatial parameter. This is to eliminate the interference of overall path deviation, such as the overall path deviation to the left in a certain historical operation, but the local deviation between adjacent monitoring points has different rules. After difference processing, the real difference of the local area path deviation can be highlighted, so as to obtain a deviation value that is more consistent with the anatomical feature difference between adjacent monitoring points.

[0099] The deviation value and the corresponding to-be-measured spatial parameter are processed by ratio to obtain a to-be-measured deviation ratio. In order to quantify the path deviation degree corresponding to the unit spatial parameter, the anatomical feature difference and the path deviation are related in the form of numerical ratio, which is convenient for subsequent induction of rules.

[0100] All to-be-measured deviation ratios are processed by average to induce the average influence rule of path deviation under a certain anatomical structure and tissue characteristics from a large amount of historical data. This average value is the path correction correlation factor. It can reflect the average situation of path deviation in historical operations when the spatial distance between monitoring points and the tissue density difference are at a certain level. The path correction correlation factor is used to correct the initially planned path during the planning of the current operation path.

[0101] According to the anatomical structure data and tissue characteristic parameters of the current to-be-peeled tendon, a pre-processing correction factor is extracted from the path correction correlation factor, including the following steps:

[0102] According to the anatomical structure data and tissue characteristic parameters of the current to-be-peeled tendon, the current tissue stress distribution characteristics are extracted;

[0103] The current tissue stress distribution characteristics are matched with historical stress distribution characteristics to extract a pre-processing correction factor from the path correction correlation factors.

[0104] For example, the force data of different parts of the tendon is collected by using a tension sensor, and the deformation of the tissue is analyzed in combination with the ultrasound image to sort out the current tissue stress distribution characteristics of the tendon to be stripped. The current tissue stress distribution characteristics are compared and matched with various historical stress distribution characteristics accumulated in the historical operation data. Because different stress distribution characteristics in the historical data correspond to different path correction correlation factors, the most suitable part of the path correction correlation factors is selected by matching the current surgical tendon stress characteristics, which is extracted as a pre-processing correction factor. In subsequent planning of the stripping path of the current operation, the path is adjusted according to the pre-processing correction factor, so that the path is more suitable for the mechanical environment of the current tendon, and the risk of tissue damage caused by stress mismatch is reduced.

[0105] According to the pre-processing correction factor, the stripping path trajectory of the key position of the tendon to be stripped is judged to obtain a first path trajectory and a second path trajectory, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0106] Obtain the key functional area of the tendon to be stripped;

[0107] Position the position of the key functional area in the stripping area to obtain a target position point;

[0108] Statistical space distance and tissue density difference value between the target position point and the first monitoring point to obtain a first pre-processing parameter;

[0109] Statistical space distance and tissue density difference value between the target position point and the second monitoring point to obtain a second pre-processing parameter;

[0110] Obtain the main stripping area tissue hardness data of the current stripping area;

[0111] Detect the initial stripping force to which the first monitoring point belongs according to the main stripping area tissue hardness data to obtain a measured initial stripping force value, and the initial stripping force to which the second monitoring point belongs is the same as the initial stripping force to which the first monitoring point belongs;

[0112] According to the first pre-processing parameter, the measured initial stripping force value and the pre-processing correction factor, the first path trajectory to which the target position point belongs is judged;

[0113] According to the second pre-processing parameter, the measured initial stripping force value and the pre-processing correction factor, the second path trajectory to which the target position point belongs is judged.

[0114] Firstly, the key functional area and the target position point are determined. The key functional area of the tendon to be stripped is obtained, which is the core part of the tendon to realize physiological function, such as the area where the tendon fiber bundle is dense and plays a key role in mechanical transmission. The accuracy of the stripping path directly affects the surgical effect. After determining the key functional area, the specific position of the key functional area in the stripping area is located, thereby obtaining the target position point. This step locks the core reference point for subsequent path derivation, allowing the path planning to focus on the key anatomical site.

[0115] The spatial distance and tissue density difference value between the target position point and the first monitoring point are counted to obtain the first preprocessing parameter; the spatial distance and tissue density difference value between the target position point and the second monitoring point are counted to obtain the second preprocessing parameter. The spatial distance reflects the spatial correlation between the target position and the end point of the stripping path, and the tissue density difference value reflects the change of the tissue characteristics of different regions. The combination of the two forms the first preprocessing parameter and the second preprocessing parameter, which comprehensively depicts the anatomical feature difference between the target position and the key monitoring point. The tissue hardness data of the main stripping area of the current stripping area is obtained. The tissue hardness is closely related to the initial stripping force required during stripping. According to the hardness data, the initial stripping force of the first monitoring point is detected to obtain the measured initial stripping force value, and the initial stripping force of the second monitoring point is consistent with that of the first monitoring point.

[0116] According to the first preprocessing parameter, the measured initial stripping force value and the preprocessing correction factor, the first path trajectory to which the target position point belongs is determined. The first preprocessing parameter includes the spatial distance and the tissue density difference value between the target position point and the first monitoring point, reflecting the anatomical feature difference of the two key positions. The spatial distance determines the extension scale of the path in space, and the tissue density difference value reflects the response difference of different regions of the tissue to the stripping operation. The measured initial stripping force value represents the size of the force required at the initial stage of stripping under the tissue hardness of the main stripping area, which is the basic reference in the mechanical aspect of path planning, because the size of the stripping force will directly affect the way of action on the tissue during path advancement. The preprocessing correction factor is a correction basis adapted to the current tissue stress distribution characteristics refined from historical experience, which can adjust the path preliminarily planned based on the anatomical parameters and the initial force value. A mechanics-anatomy coupling model is constructed in advance, the first preprocessing parameter is input into the mechanics-anatomy coupling model, and the initial path direction is simulated in combination with the measured initial stripping force value; the initial path is corrected according to the preprocessing correction factor, which adjusts the direction and curvature parameters of the path according to the path deviation law under similar anatomical and mechanical characteristics in history, so that the path not only fits the current anatomical structure and initial force requirement, but also avoids potential risks by learning from historical experience. Through such comprehensive operation and correction of the mechanics-anatomy coupling model, the first path trajectory that fits the correlation characteristics of the target position point and the first monitoring point can be output, providing clear path guidance for the stripping operation.

[0117] According to the second pretreatment parameter, the initial peeling force value to be measured and the pretreatment correction factor, the second path trajectory to which the target position point belongs is judged. From the key area positioning, multi-dimensional parameter acquisition and fusion of historical correction factors and mechanical data, the path is derived, and the peeling path of the key position of the tendon to be peeled is gradually determined, which provides specific trajectory reference for subsequent risk assessment and path optimization. The peeling path planning not only fits the current anatomical characteristics, but also integrates historical experience and mechanical laws, thereby improving the scientificity and safety of the surgical path.

[0118] According to the first path trajectory and the second path trajectory, a comprehensive path deviation factor is counted, specifically including the following steps:

[0119] The tissue strain frequency of the first monitoring point is detected to obtain a pretreatment strain frequency;

[0120] The path deviation value of the first path trajectory is multiplied by the pretreatment strain frequency to obtain a first damage risk factor;

[0121] The path deviation value of the second path trajectory is multiplied by the pretreatment strain frequency to obtain a second damage risk factor;

[0122] The first damage risk factor and the second damage risk factor are summed to obtain a comprehensive path deviation factor.

[0123] The tissue strain frequency of the first monitoring point is detected, and the tissue strain frequency reflects the number of strain fluctuations per unit time of the tissue at the monitoring point in the peeling preparation stage. It is an important indicator of tissue stability. The higher the frequency, the more sensitive the tissue is to external operations, and the greater the damage risk caused by subsequent path deviation.

[0124] The path deviation value of the first path trajectory is multiplied by the pretreatment strain frequency to obtain a first damage risk factor. Path deviation will cause mechanical disturbance to the tissue, and strain frequency reflects the sensitivity of the tissue to disturbance. Multiplying the two can quantify the damage risk. The larger the deviation and the higher the strain frequency, the larger the first damage risk factor value, thereby representing the higher damage of the path to the tissue. The path deviation value of the second path trajectory is multiplied by the pretreatment strain frequency to obtain a second damage risk factor.

[0125] The first damage risk factor and the second damage risk factor are summed to superimpose and integrate the damage risks of the two paths. The comprehensive path deviation factor can comprehensively reflect the overall damage risk level caused by path deviation of the two peeling paths in the tissue strain sensitive environment, and provide a quantitative basis for subsequent judgment of tissue damage risk value and optimization of peeling path.

[0126] According to the comprehensive path deviation factor, the tissue damage risk value of the tendon to be stripped caused by the path deviation in the stripping process is judged, and the current damage risk value is obtained, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0127] An injury database under different path deviation values and different tissue strain frequencies is obtained.

[0128] The comprehensive path deviation factor is matched with the injury database to obtain the current damage risk value of the tendon to be stripped.

[0129] The injury database is constructed by a large number of anterior cruciate ligament tendon stripping surgery cases and biomechanical experiments. The injury database stores tissue injury data corresponding to different path deviation values and different tissue strain frequency combinations, such as the probability of injury and the severity level of injury.

[0130] The comprehensive path deviation factor is compared with the data in the injury database. The comprehensive path deviation factor contains the damage risk superposition information of the two path trajectories in the current surgery, which integrates the correlation influence of path deviation and tissue strain frequency. In the matching process, the key parameters of path deviation value and tissue strain frequency in the comprehensive path deviation factor are used to find the most suitable record in the injury database. Through matching, the historical experience and the actual situation of the current surgery are combined to deduce the current damage risk value of the tendon to be stripped under the current path planning, so that the surgeon can clearly know the degree of tissue damage caused by the stripping path, and provide key risk quantification basis for subsequent path adjustment and how to adjust the path.

[0131] According to the current damage risk value, an optimal adjustment path is obtained, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0132] If the current damage risk value is greater than or equal to a preset tissue damage warning threshold, output path adjustment notification information;

[0133] According to the path adjustment notification information, the optimal adjustment path of the tendon to be stripped is obtained to obtain an optimal stripping path;

[0134] The high stress area of each optimal stripping path is collected to obtain an auxiliary path high stress area;

[0135] The stress intensity and area of the auxiliary path high stress area are detected to obtain auxiliary path stress characteristic data;

[0136] The stress intensity and high stress area of the main stripping region are detected to obtain main path stress characteristic data;

[0137] The optimal adjustment path corresponding to the auxiliary path stress characteristic data smaller than the main path stress characteristic data is extracted from the optimal stripping path.

[0138] Firstly, a damage risk threshold is set as the trigger condition for path adjustment. When the calculated current damage risk value is greater than or equal to the preset tissue damage warning threshold, it means that the current planned stripping path exists tissue damage, so the path adjustment notification information is output, and the path optimization process is started.

[0139] According to the path adjustment notification information, combined with the anatomical structure of the current tendon to be stripped, the tissue stress distribution, and the multi-dimensional data of the to-be-measured space parameters, a plurality of optimized stripping paths are derived. These paths will actively avoid dangerous areas such as nerve and blood vessel bundles and high stress areas of the original path.

[0140] The high stress area of each optimized stripping path is located and collected to obtain the auxiliary path high stress area, the stress intensity and the area of the region are detected to integrate the auxiliary path stress characteristic data, and the mechanical risk of the optimized path is quantified; the stress intensity and the area of the high stress area of the original main stripping region are detected to obtain the main path stress characteristic data, so that the mechanical risks of the optimized path and the original path have comparable dimensions.

[0141] The auxiliary path stress characteristic data of each optimized stripping path is compared with the main path stress characteristic data, so as to extract the optimized path with lower stress intensity and smaller high stress area. Because this kind of path can meet the stripping demand, and can more effectively reduce the mechanical load borne by the tissue, thereby reducing the damage risk, finally it is determined as the preferred adjustment path.
