Abstract

Introduction

Hip resurfacing is a surgical option for osteoarthritis young and active patients. Early failures has been reported due to improper implant placement. Computer-assisted surgery is a promising avenue for more successful procedures.

Purpose

This paper presents a novel automatic surgical planning for computer-assisted hip resurfacing procedures. The plan defined the femoral head axis that was used to place the implant. The automatic planning was based on a Lie group statistical shape model.

Methods

A statistical shape model was constructed using 50 femurs from osteoarthritis patients who underwent computer-assisted hip resurfacing. The model was constructed using product Lie groups representation of shapes and nonlinear analysis on the manifold of shapes. A surgical plan was drawn for the derived base shape. The base shape was transformed to 14 femurs with known manual plans. The transformed base plan was used as the computed plan for each femur. Both actual and computed plans were compared.

Results

The method showed a success by computing plans that differ from the actual plans within the surgical admissible ranges. The minimum crossing distance between the two plans had a mean of 0.75 mm with a standard deviation of 0.54 mm. The angular difference between the two plans had the mean of 5.94\(^{\circ }\) with a standard deviation of 2.14\(^{\circ }\).

Conclusion

Product Lie groups shape models were proved to be successful in automatic planning for hip resurfacing computer-assisted surgeries. The method can be extended to other orthopedic and general surgeries.
