Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical simulation, and more specifically, to a joint replacement surgery simulation system based on pressure sensing feedback. Background Technology

[0002] Joint replacement surgery is one of the most widely used and complex surgical procedures in modern orthopedic clinics. It is characterized by its delicate operation and high risk, demanding extremely high levels of spatial positioning, force control, and anatomical understanding from the surgeon. Currently, mainstream surgical training methods include ex vivo specimen manipulation, virtual simulation training systems, and robot-assisted surgical platforms. However, these traditional methods generally suffer from problems such as limited data sources, delayed feedback, and insufficient model realism. For example, virtual simulation systems often rely on static image models, lacking the acquisition and feedback of real-time intraoperative biomechanical interaction data, making it difficult to reproduce the actual stress and deformation characteristics during key procedures such as prosthesis implantation and bone surface reshaping. Furthermore, due to the failure to effectively integrate imaging data, biomechanical data, and individual anatomical parameters, the differences between patients are often overlooked, resulting in a lack of specificity and accuracy in simulation training.

[0003] Furthermore, existing systems generally lack adaptive learning and dynamic optimization mechanisms, making it impossible to update model parameters in real time based on surgeon errors and hindering closed-loop training involving perception, response, and correction. Especially when simulating high-precision procedures such as grinding, implantation, and compaction, the model's static response cannot accurately reflect the nonlinear mechanical changes during surgery, limiting the realism and educational value of the training. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a joint replacement surgery simulation system that integrates multimodal information, possesses pressure sensing feedback, and self-learning optimization capabilities to achieve highly realistic dynamic simulation and individualized training support throughout the entire surgical process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a joint replacement surgery simulation system based on pressure sensing feedback. This system solves the problems of existing methods, such as single data sources, feedback delays, and insufficient model realism. It fails to effectively integrate imaging data, mechanical data, and individual anatomical parameters, often ignoring the differences between different patients. This results in a lack of targeted and accurate simulation training, a lack of adaptive learning and dynamic optimization mechanisms, and an inability to update model parameters in real time based on the surgeon's operational errors, thus failing to meet the needs of users.

[0005] This invention achieves the above objective through the following technical solution: a joint replacement surgery simulation system based on pressure sensing feedback, the system comprising: The module includes data acquisition and preprocessing, model building and parameter initialization, multimodal coupling modeling, and dynamic response optimization. The data acquisition and preprocessing module is used to acquire and preprocess raw data related to joint replacement surgery. The raw data includes intraoperative three-dimensional bone tissue imaging data, real-time mechanical data of instrument-bone tissue interaction, and surgical-related anatomical parameters. The model building and parameter initialization module is used to build a multimodal fusion adaptive feedback model and determine the initial parameters of the model. The multimodal coupling modeling module is used to input preprocessed data into the adaptive feedback model, and realize adaptive coupling modeling through multimodal fusion algorithm to dynamically adjust simulation parameters; The dynamic response optimization module is used to continuously optimize the model through a cyclic optimization mechanism to achieve a highly realistic simulation of the entire joint replacement surgery process.

[0006] Furthermore, the intraoperative three-dimensional bone tissue image data acquired by the data acquisition and preprocessing module covers the core bone tissue region of joint replacement, which includes: At least one of the following: acetabulum, proximal femur, and tibial plateau; The real-time mechanical data is collected by pressure sensors distributed on the surface of the prosthesis, the tip of the grinding instrument and the contact surface of the compaction tool, including at least one of grinding cutting force, prosthesis implantation pressure and interface compaction reaction force. The anatomical parameters include at least one of the following key parameters: femoral neck-shaft angle, acetabular abduction angle, prosthesis size, cortical bone thickness, and cancellous bone porosity.

[0007] Furthermore, the data acquisition and preprocessing module includes the following steps: The three-dimensional bone tissue image data were normalized, the real-time mechanical data were filtered and denoised, and the anatomical parameters were standardized. The filtering and denoising process employs algorithms including Gaussian filtering, while the normalization and standardization processes optimize data consistency by eliminating differences in data units.

[0008] Furthermore, the model building and parameter initialization module constructs an adaptive feedback model based on a multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid network, wherein the hybrid network includes a multi-resolution convolutional module, a graph convolutional module, and a feature fusion module; The multi-resolution convolution module is used to extract multi-scale features from three-dimensional bone tissue image data; The graph convolution module is used to fuse real-time mechanical data and anatomical parameters into a multi-dimensional feature vector, and to construct a graph structure based on the bone tissue-prosthesis interaction topology. The feature fusion module employs an attention mechanism to adaptively weight and fuse multi-resolution image feature maps and fused features.

[0009] Furthermore, the initial parameters determined by the model construction and parameter initialization module include: Initial values ​​for attention weights and error threshold; The initial value of the attention weight is determined based on the information entropy ratio of the multimodal data in the training set; The error threshold is set based on the statistical characteristics of a real clinical joint replacement surgery interactive dataset and is dynamically corrected in combination with the accuracy requirements of key surgical operations, including at least one of grinding, prosthesis implantation, and interface compaction.

[0010] Furthermore, the multimodal coupling modeling module obtains bone tissue stiffness distribution parameters and prosthesis fitting parameters through a multimodal fusion algorithm; The bone tissue stiffness distribution parameters are set according to the anatomical structure by dividing the bone tissue into zones, and the zones include at least one of the acetabular roof, femoral distance, and medial tibial plateau. The prosthesis fitting parameters include at least one of the following dimensional parameters: prosthesis implantation depth, tilt angle, offset, and soft tissue tension compensation coefficient.

[0011] Furthermore, the multimodal coupling modeling module establishes a mapping relationship model between stiffness distribution and bone density and anatomical parameters, determines the bone density level based on the gray values ​​of different regions in the three-dimensional bone tissue image, and dynamically adjusts the stiffness coefficient of the corresponding region in combination with cortical thickness and cancellous bone porosity parameters. The mapping relationship model achieves dynamic stiffness adaptation by associating the baseline stiffness coefficient, normalized bone mineral density value, stiffness adjustment coefficient, and anatomical parameters.

[0012] Furthermore, the multimodal coupling modeling module establishes a correlation model between prosthesis fitting parameters and anatomical parameters and mechanical data, determines the initial fitting parameters of the prosthesis based on the anatomical parameters, and adjusts the fitting parameters through real-time mechanical data feedback to ensure uniform force distribution and interface fit during prosthesis implantation. The correlation model achieves dynamic optimization through initial adaptation parameters, parameter adjustment coefficients, and the difference between the real-time interactive average force and the reference force value.

[0013] Furthermore, the dynamic response optimization module continuously optimizes the adaptive feedback model through a perception-response-correction loop, the loop including: The three phases of perception, response, and correction. The perception phase acquires interactive state data of the current surgical operation, including at least one of bone tissue cutting amount, prosthesis implantation progress, and interface pressure distribution. The response phase simulates bone tissue deformation, prosthesis placement process, and interface stress transmission during surgical operations, generating dynamic response output. The correction phase calculates the error between the dynamic response output and the preset real surgical interaction data, and updates the model parameters based on the error feedback.

[0014] Furthermore, the model parameters updated by the dynamic response optimization module include: Attention weights, prosthesis adaptation parameters, weight parameters of multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid networks, and adjustment coefficients of stiffness mapping relationship models; The attention weights are adaptively adjusted based on error feedback and surgical operation type, and the prosthesis fitting parameters are adjusted based on error feedback and anatomical parameter constraints. The optimization process repeats the sensing-response-correction cycle until the simulation error is less than a preset threshold, thereby achieving a highly realistic dynamic response for key operations in joint replacement surgery.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. By placing pressure sensors on the surface of the prosthesis, the tip of the grinding instrument, and the contact surface of the compaction tool, mechanical information such as grinding cutting force, implantation pressure, and interface reaction force is collected in real time. This information is then combined with three-dimensional image data and anatomical parameters to achieve dynamic coupling and high-precision modeling of multimodal data during surgery.

[0016] 2. The system uses a multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid network to construct an adaptive feedback model, and combines an attention mechanism to achieve weighted fusion of multimodal features. It can automatically adjust the simulation response according to the bone density, cortical thickness and prosthesis parameters of different patients, which significantly improves the individualization of the simulation.

[0017] 3. Through the perception-response-correction loop mechanism, the model parameters are continuously self-learned and error corrected, so that the simulation process can reflect the deformation of bone tissue, the placement of the prosthesis and the changes in interface stress during the operation in real time, and ensure that the dynamic simulation results are highly consistent with the clinical operation.

[0018] 4. This invention can intuitively display the mechanical state and structural changes during key operations, providing surgeons with quantitative feedback and risk warnings, which helps to improve the scientific nature of surgical planning and the stability of intraoperative operations, and has significant teaching and clinical application value.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0021] Example 1: Please see Figure 1-3 This invention provides a technical solution: a joint replacement surgery simulation system based on pressure sensing feedback, the system comprising: The module includes data acquisition and preprocessing, model building and parameter initialization, multimodal coupling modeling, and dynamic response optimization. The data acquisition and preprocessing module is used to acquire raw data related to joint replacement surgery, including intraoperative three-dimensional bone tissue imaging data, real-time mechanical data of instrument-bone tissue interaction collected by pressure sensors, and anatomical parameters related to joint replacement surgery, and to preprocess the raw data. Among them, intraoperative 3D bone tissue imaging data is image data that reflects the three-dimensional morphology and structure of bone tissue, acquired through medical imaging equipment such as CT and MRI during joint replacement surgery. This data can clearly present the three-dimensional features of bone tissue, providing a morphological basis for subsequent simulation. Real-time mechanical data of instrument-bone tissue interaction is obtained by pressure sensors installed on surgical instruments during surgery, measuring the mechanical signals generated when the instruments interact with bone tissue in real time, including the magnitude and direction of force, reflecting the mechanical interaction during the surgical operation. Anatomical parameters related to joint replacement surgery include various parameters of the anatomical structure of the human joint, such as joint size, bone shape, and articular surface angles. These parameters are crucial for accurately simulating the surgical process and its effects. Preprocessing involves a series of processing operations on the acquired raw data to remove noise, correct data deviations, and standardize data formats, making the raw data more suitable for subsequent model construction and analysis, thus improving data quality. The model building and parameter initialization module is used to build an adaptive feedback model for multimodal force perception-image fusion based on a multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid network, and to determine the initial values ​​of attention weights and error thresholds in the model. Among them, the multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid network is a network structure that combines the characteristics of multi-resolution convolutional neural networks and graph convolutional neural networks. Multi-resolution convolutional neural networks can extract features from data at different resolution levels, while graph convolutional neural networks are good at processing graph-structured data. This hybrid network can make full use of the advantages of the two networks to better process multimodal data. The multimodal force-image fusion adaptive feedback model is a model built on the multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid network. This model can fuse force data, such as the real-time mechanical data mentioned above, and image data, such as three-dimensional bone tissue image data, and has an adaptive feedback mechanism that dynamically adjusts the model output according to the input data to more accurately simulate the joint replacement surgery process. The initial value of attention weight is the initial setting value of the weight parameters related to the attention mechanism in the model. The attention mechanism allows the model to focus on important information when processing data. The initial value of attention weight is the starting state of attention allocation when the model starts running. The error threshold is a pre-set value used to measure the error range between the model simulation result and the actual situation or the expected result. When the simulation error is less than this preset threshold, the model is considered to have reached a certain accuracy requirement. The multimodal coupling modeling module is used to input preprocessed real-time mechanical data, three-dimensional bone tissue image data and anatomical parameters into the adaptive feedback model. Adaptive coupling modeling is performed through multimodal fusion algorithm to dynamically adjust the bone tissue stiffness distribution and prosthesis fitting parameters in the simulation, so that the force feedback in the virtual surgery matches the different bone density areas in the image, the prosthesis implantation angle and the prosthesis-bone interface fit. Among them, the multimodal fusion algorithm is used to fuse different types of data, such as real-time mechanical data, three-dimensional bone tissue imaging data, and anatomical parameters. Through this algorithm, multiple modalities of data can be organically combined to explore their intrinsic relationships and provide support for adaptive coupling modeling. Adaptive coupling modeling involves inputting pre-processed data into an adaptive feedback model, which then dynamically adjusts its internal parameters and relationships according to the multimodal fusion algorithm to achieve adaptive matching and coupling between different data, thereby more realistically simulating various phenomena during the surgical process. Bone tissue stiffness distribution refers to the distribution of bone tissue's ability to resist deformation in different parts of the body. Bone tissue stiffness varies in different bone density regions. Accurately simulating bone tissue stiffness distribution in surgical simulation is crucial for realistically reflecting the surgical experience and results. Prosthesis adaptation parameters are various parameters that describe the degree of adaptation between the prosthesis and bone tissue, such as the prosthesis implantation angle and the degree of fit between the prosthesis and bone interface. These parameters directly affect the stability and function of the prosthesis in the bone tissue, and these parameters need to be accurately adjusted in surgical simulation to achieve highly realistic simulation. The dynamic response optimization module is used to continuously optimize the adaptive feedback model through a perception-response-correction loop, dynamically update the attention weight and prosthesis adaptation parameters until the simulation error is less than the preset threshold, and achieve highly realistic dynamic response for key operations such as instrument polishing, prosthesis implantation and interface compaction in joint replacement surgery, thus completing the simulation of the entire joint replacement surgery process. The perception-response-correction loop is a mechanism for continuous model optimization. The model first perceives the input data and the current simulation state (perception phase), then makes corresponding adjustments based on the perception results (response phase). Next, it compares the model with preset standards or real-world conditions to identify and correct errors (correction phase). This process is repeated continuously to optimize model performance. Dynamically updating attention weights and prosthesis adaptation parameters involves adjusting these parameters in real-time based on the results of each iteration of the perception-response-correction loop. This allows the model to better adapt to different surgical situations and data changes, improving the accuracy and realism of the simulation. High-fidelity dynamic response for key operations addresses critical operations in joint replacement surgery, such as instrument polishing, prosthesis implantation, and interface compaction. Through the aforementioned optimization process, the model can highly realistically simulate the mechanical feedback and imaging changes during these operations, providing a reliable simulation environment for surgical training and planning. The full-process simulation of joint replacement surgery, achieved through the collaborative work of the preceding modules, simulates the entire process from start to finish, including preoperative planning, intraoperative procedures, and postoperative evaluation, providing medical personnel with a comprehensive surgical simulation experience and training platform.

[0022] It should be noted that during use, the data acquisition and preprocessing module comprehensively collects and processes various types of raw data, providing rich and accurate basic information for the simulation. The model building and parameter initialization module utilizes a multi-resolution convolutional-graph convolutional hybrid network to construct an adaptive feedback model, which can better integrate multimodal data and reasonably set initial parameters to ensure the scientific initial state of the model. The multimodal coupling modeling module can dynamically adjust key parameters, enabling precise matching of force feedback and images, thereby improving the realism of the simulation. The dynamic response optimization module continuously optimizes through a perception-response-correction loop, constantly updating parameters until the error reaches the target, achieving highly realistic dynamic responses for key operations and completing the entire simulation process. All modules of the entire system work together, from data to model to optimization, comprehensively ensuring the accuracy, realism, and comprehensiveness of the simulation, providing strong support for joint replacement surgery training and planning.

Comprehensive and precise data acquisition and preprocessing provide a high-quality, standardized data foundation for subsequent model construction. Different types of data, after targeted processing, can more accurately reflect the actual surgical situation, avoiding model deviations due to data differences. This helps improve the model's simulation accuracy of the surgical process, making the simulation results closer to real surgical scenarios and providing a reliable basis for surgical training and planning.

This threshold was then dynamically adjusted to reflect the precision requirements of key surgical procedures. The threshold coefficients were set as follows: 0.8 for grinding operations, 0.9 for prosthesis implantation operations, and 1.0 for interface compaction operations. The adjusted expression is as follows:

[0034] in, The standard deviation of the real surgical interaction dataset is represented by the standard deviation of the dataset. This represents the threshold coefficient corresponding to the operation type.

The attention mechanism achieves adaptive fusion, highlights important features, and reasonably determines initial parameters and error thresholds, making the model's initial state scientific and reasonable, enabling faster convergence, improving model training efficiency and simulation accuracy, and better simulating the complex interactive processes during surgery.

[0036] In one embodiment, preprocessed real-time mechanical data, three-dimensional bone tissue imaging data, and anatomical parameters are input into an adaptive feedback model. Adaptive coupling modeling is performed using a multimodal fusion algorithm to dynamically adjust the bone tissue stiffness distribution and prosthesis fitting parameters in the simulation, including: Based on multimodal fusion features Bone tissue stiffness distribution parameters are obtained through mapping of fully connected layers.

[0039] This design adaptively couples preprocessed data into the model, dynamically adjusting bone stiffness distribution and prosthesis fitting parameters. By establishing a mapping and correlation model, parameters are determined based on imaging, anatomical, and mechanical data, and are updated in real time. This allows for dynamic adjustment of key parameters according to the actual surgical situation, ensuring that force feedback in virtual surgery matches bone density, prosthesis status, and other parameters in real time. This dynamic adjustment mechanism makes the simulation more closely resemble real surgical changes, improving the realism and interactivity of the simulation. It provides medical personnel with a more realistic surgical experience, helping to improve surgical skills and the ability to handle complex situations.

[0040] In one embodiment, the adaptive feedback model is continuously optimized through a perception-response-correction loop, dynamically updating the attention weights and prosthesis adaptation parameters until the simulation error is less than a preset threshold, including: Sensing phase: The pressure sensor senses the mechanical signals of the instrument-bone / prosthesis interaction during key operations of joint replacement surgery in real time.

Less than the preset threshold This enables continuous optimization of the model and outputs highly realistic dynamic responses throughout the entire joint replacement surgery process.

[0043] This design employs a perception-response-correction cyclic optimization method for the adaptive feedback model. The perception phase acquires surgical interaction state data, the response phase generates dynamic response output, and the correction phase calculates errors and updates attention weights and prosthesis fitting parameters until the error falls below a threshold. This continuous optimization mechanism constantly improves the model and enhances simulation accuracy.

Focusing on key errors, the simulation results are ensured to be highly consistent with real surgery in important aspects. Ultimately, this achieves a highly realistic dynamic response throughout the entire joint replacement surgery process, providing a high-quality simulation environment for surgical training and planning.

Based on clinical data, such as the mean force reference value for prosthesis implantation. When the current average force At that time, the depth of implantation This ensures uniform implantation force.

[0062] Dynamic response optimization and surgical simulation: The perception-response-correction cycle is executed: Perception phase: The force feedback robotic arm captures the doctor's operating actions (such as the rotation angle and advance speed during acetabular grinding, and the axial thrust and rotation angle during prosthesis implantation). The pressure sensor collects interactive mechanical signals in real time (sampling frequency 100Hz). The CT image is updated every 10 seconds, and the status data such as bone tissue cutting amount (calculated through image registration), prosthesis implantation progress (current implantation depth / target depth), and interface pressure distribution (sensor array data) are acquired simultaneously.

[0063] Response phase: Based on the current parameters of the MR-CGCN model, simulate bone tissue deformation (using a simplified finite element model and combining stiffness distribution parameters to calculate the degree of deformation), prosthesis placement process (simulating prosthesis displacement and rotation based on adaptation parameters), and interface stress transmission (outputting real-time force feedback through a force feedback robotic arm); for example, when grinding the cortical bone area, the robotic arm outputs greater resistance (corresponding to a high stiffness coefficient), while the resistance decreases when grinding the cancellous bone area, simulating the feel of cutting real tissue.

(Pay attention to the errors in the prosthesis's anteversion and abduction angles), and the weighting of the pressure error. (Focus on the uniformity of interface pressure distribution) and the weight of cutting quantity error. (Focusing on the precision of bone tissue cutting); If the current surgical procedure involves prosthesis implantation, the calculated root mean square error of angle is 1.2°, the root mean square error of pressure is 8N, and the root mean square error of cutting amount is 0.2mm. After normalization, the error E = 0.3 × 0.8 + 0.4 × 0.6 + 0.3 × 0.4 = 0.24 + 0.24 + 0.12 = 0.60, which is less than the threshold. No significant adjustments are needed; if the error E=1.80 (greater than the threshold), then parameter updates will be initiated.

The grinding resistance is dynamically adjusted based on the stiffness distribution parameters. When grinding reaches the cortical bone area, the force feedback robotic arm outputs increased resistance. At the same time, the progress of bone tissue cutting is displayed through image updates to ensure that the acetabular cup coverage area is ≥80% after grinding.

[0069] Prosthesis implantation stage: First, the acetabular prosthesis is implanted. The implantation angle and depth are adjusted based on the fitting parameters. The pressure distribution at the prosthesis-bone interface is displayed in real time (visualized through sensor data) to ensure uniform pressure (maximum pressure difference ≤20%). Then, the femoral stem prosthesis is implanted to simulate the compression fitting process between the prosthesis stem and the medullary cavity. The force feedback gradually increases with the implantation depth to avoid over-implantation that could lead to bone tissue damage.

[0070] Interface compaction stage: The prosthesis-bone interface is compacted using a compaction tool to simulate the interface pressure adjustment before bone cement hardening. The force feedback robotic arm outputs the compaction reaction force to ensure that the interface fit is ≥95%. The entire surgical process is simulated, with a total simulation time of ≈30 minutes, which is consistent with the clinical surgical time.
