Key result
A computer-aided system for hip arthroscopy was developed to provide real-time guidance for portal incision placement and visual feedback on tool trajectory.
A computer-aided system was developed to provide real-time guidance for portal placement during arthroscopic hip surgery, potentially increasing the use of this minimally invasive technique.
Real-time guidance system may aid hip arthroscopy portal placement; leaves open clinical efficacy and safety validation.
Placing portal incisions during arthroscopic hip surgery presents challenges for surgeons in terms of anatomic accessibility and patient safety. Based on key anatomic landmarks and portal placement information from recent literature, suggested portal incisions were determined. Guidance in the placement of the three most common portal incision locations (anterior, anterolateral, and posterolateral) for arthroscopic surgery; in addition to visual feedback on tool trajectory to the hip joint is provided in real time by a computer aided system for hip arthroscopy. By simplifying the portal placement process, one of the most challenging aspects of arthroscopic hip surgery, an increased use of this minimally invasive technique could be possible. In addition to portal information, improvements to an existing computer aided system for arthroscopic hip surgery, including a new hip model and redesigned mechanical tracking linkage, were completed.
