چکیده
We describe and evaluate a computer algorithm that automatically develops a surgical plan for computer assisted mosaic arthroplasty, a technically demanding procedure in which a set of osteochondral plugs are transplanted from a non-load-bearing area of the joint to the site of a cartilage defect. We found that the algorithm produced plans that were at least as good as a human expert, had less variability, and

متن کاملPrediction of the Repair Surface over Cartilage Defects: A Comparison of Three Methods in a Sheep Model
Defects in articular cartilage can be repaired through osteochondral transplantation (mosaic arthroplasty), where osteochondral plugs from non-weight-bearing areas of the joint are transferred to the defect site. Incongruity between the plug surface and the adjacent cartilage results in increased contact pressures and poorer outcomes. We compare three methods to predict the desired repair surfa...
متن کاملComputer-Assisted Ankle Joint Arthroplasty Using Bio-engineered Autografts
Bio-engineered cartilage has made substantial progress over the last years. Preciously few cases, however, are known where patients were actually able to benefit from these developments. In orthopaedic surgery, there are two major obstacles between in-vitro cartilage engineering and its clinical application: successful integration of an autologuous graft into a joint and the high cost of indivi...
متن کاملP-106: The Computer-Assisted Vacuolated Sperm Analysis and Zygote Quality
Background: Digital image processing and analysis are used for computer assisted evaluation of sperm morphology. Sperm head morphology has been identified as a characteristic that can be used to predict a male’s semen quality. On the other hand, zygote competence analysis is an importance tool to select embryo(s) for transfer. The aim of the present study is to determine zygote quality resulted...
متن کاملAutomated Preoperative Planning of Acetabulam Size and Angle Detection for Hemi-arthroplasty
Conventional pre-operative planning for Hemi-arthroplasty is performed with caliper, protractor, transparent templates and x-ray sheets. This technique is time consuming with many errors. Computer-aided pre-operative planning systems can assist surgeons in selecting correct sized implantable acetabulam and accurate planning of an operation. This paper describes the pre-operative planning by dig...
