Description

The three-dimensional spatial positioning parameters (including anteversion angle and abduction angle) and the accuracy of the reconstruction of the center of rotation of the acetabular cup directly determine the long-term survival rate of the prosthesis and the incidence of postoperative complications.

[0003] Modern orthopedic surgical robot systems can theoretically control the implantation accuracy of the acetabular cup to be within 1° and 1mm through preoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction, virtual planning and intraoperative optical navigation positioning.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application.

[0021] Figure 1 A structural schematic view of an auxiliary positioning device for hip joint replacement prosthesis implantation provided by the embodiments of the application. The hip joint replacement prosthesis at least comprises an acetabular cup, as shown in Figure 1 The auxiliary positioning device at least comprises an inner lining body, a support structure and an optical positioning array.

[0022] The inner liner body includes a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the inner liner body is fitted to the inner surface of the acetabular cup. The second surface of the inner liner body includes an inner concave surface and a bottom surface, one end of the support structure is mounted on the inner concave surface of the inner liner body, and the first surface is closed with the inner concave surface through the bottom surface.

[0023] The inner liner body used in conjunction with the acetabular cup here can be a hemispherical cup liner. The inner liner body here can be embedded in the acetabular cup. The material of the inner liner body can be polyethylene, ceramic, titanium alloy metal, etc.

[0024] One end of the support structure is mounted on the second surface of the inner liner body, and the other end of the support structure is formed with a support surface. The support structure includes a connecting piece and a support piece, one end of the connecting piece is mounted on the inner concave surface of the inner liner body, and one end of the connecting piece is connected with the support piece. The support piece is formed with a support surface. The material of the support structure can be polyethylene, ceramic, titanium alloy metal, etc. The connecting piece can be cylindrical or long strip-shaped, etc., and the length can be about 10 cm. The shape of the support piece is not limited.

[0025] An optical positioning array is mounted on the support surface, and based on the collected pose data of the optical positioning array, the implantation state of the acetabular cup in the hip joint replacement surgery is verified.

[0026] The auxiliary positioning device for hip joint replacement prosthesis implantation provided by the embodiments of the present application is used in conjunction with the acetabular cup to be detected, and the optical positioning array is extended through the support structure to facilitate the three-dimensional data collection of the optical positioning array by the optical navigation camera. Compared with the verification method of X-ray CT scanning in the prior art, the verification can be performed at any time during the prosthesis implantation process, is compatible with the navigation system of the orthopedic robot, captures the pose data in real time, shortens the verification time, improves the verification accuracy through the three-dimensional space data measurement, is simple to operate, and is helpful to improve the accuracy of the orthopedic robot prosthesis implantation execution. And the whole process has no radiation risk.

[0027] In a feasible implementation manner, the doctor pre-enters the target pose data to be implanted by the prosthesis in the operation system of the orthopedic robot, which can include the anteversion angle, the abduction angle, the rotation center point, the depth, etc. The doctor can control the orthopedic robot to install the acetabular cup based on the target pose data, and complete the implantation of the acetabular cup under the assistance of the orthopedic robot.

[0028] Then the inner liner body of the auxiliary positioning device can be deployed in the acetabular cup, and the bottom surface of the inner liner body is kept at the same horizontal plane as the bottom surface of the acetabular cup. Here, the inner liner body can be connected with the acetabular cup. For example, the first surface of the inner liner body can be interference-fitted with the inner surface of the acetabular cup. The inner liner body can also be provided with a connecting piece to fix the inner liner body in the acetabular cup. The connecting piece can be a buckle or a magnetic buckle, etc. That is, the inner liner body here can be reused.

[0029] In a feasible embodiment, the inner lining body can be fixedly held by hand to fit in the acetabular cup, which is particularly suitable for positioning the general acetabular cup.

[0030] After the auxiliary positioning device is fixed, the optical positioning array can be collected by the optical navigation camera to collect the pose data. The pose data can be uploaded to the controller and converted based on the collected pose data to determine the real-time pose data of the acetabular cup. The controller here can be the same controller as the controller of the orthopedic robot. The orthopedic robot can be configured with a mobile electronic device or a fixed electronic device, and the controller is located in the electronic device.

[0031] The collected pose data here can include the three-dimensional coordinates of each marker point and the pitch angle, etc. After conversion, the real-time anteversion angle, abduction angle and rotation center point, depth, etc. of the acetabular cup can be determined. The real-time pose data is compared with the pre-set target pose data, and based on the matching degree between the real-time pose data and the target pose data, it is determined whether the position of the acetabular cup needs to be adjusted.

[0032] Specifically, the target deviation value can be calculated based on the real-time pose data and the target pose data. It is determined whether the target deviation value is less than the pre-set deviation value. If yes, it is determined that the position of the acetabular cup does not need to be adjusted.

[0033] For example, it is determined whether the deviation value of the anteversion angle is less than 5°. If yes, it is determined that the position of the acetabular cup does not need to be adjusted. If not, the implantation angle of the acetabular cup needs to be adjusted.

[0034] Further, the deviation of the pose data can also be displayed through the mobile electronic device or the fixed electronic device. For example, the deviation of the real-time pose data of the acetabular cup and the target pose data can be intuitively displayed in a numerical and graphical manner (such as a deviation table, color coding, 3D model superposition comparison), and it is judged whether the deviation is within the clinically acceptable tolerance range.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the pose data of the marker points is collected based on optical principles between the optical positioning array and the optical navigation camera.

[0036] In a feasible embodiment, at least three grooves are formed on the support surface of the support, and the grooves are arranged in an array. The optical positioning array includes at least three reflectors, each of which is detachably connected in a target groove. The reflector here can be a reflective ball, and a plurality of semispherical grooves can be pre-set on the support, and the reflective ball is detachably mounted in the groove.

[0037] For example, when there are three grooves, they can be arranged in a triangular shape. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2When the number of the recesses is five, the recesses can be arranged in a cross shape.

[0038] In use, the number of the reflective balls can be selected according to actual needs, and installed in the corresponding recesses, so as to ensure more accurate positioning. The reflective balls can reflect the light source of the optical navigation camera, so that the optical navigation camera can locate the six-degree-of-freedom pose data of each reflective ball, which can include X-axis coordinate, Y-axis coordinate, Z-axis coordinate, pitch, yaw, and roll.

[0039] In another possible implementation, the optical positioning array can include at least three light emitters, all of which are arranged on the support and arranged in an array. The optical positioning array further includes a battery arranged in the support, and the battery is electrically connected with the light emitters.

[0040] The light emitters can be infrared LED balls, which are fixed on the support surface of the support in an array. The battery is used to power the infrared LED balls. A power switch can also be arranged on the connecting piece, which is used to control the opening and closing of power supply.

[0041] The number of the reflectors or light emitters is preferably 5 or 6, so as to ensure the accuracy of positioning.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, in order to further improve the accuracy of the position recognition of the acetabular cup and avoid the shielding and position limitation, the auxiliary positioning device can further include an inertial sensor and a communicator. The inertial sensor can be arranged in the support. The communicator can be arranged in the support or the connecting piece, and is used to send the data of the inertial sensor to the controller.

[0043] The controller can determine the real-time pose data of the acetabular cup based on the pose data collected by the inertial sensor and the optical positioning array, so as to improve the accuracy of the verification of the implantation angle.
