Abstract

Reconstruction surgery of torn ligaments typically requires precise and anatomically correct fixation of the graft substitute on the bone surface. Several planning methodologies have been proposed that aim at standardizing the interventional procedure by localizing drill sites or defining the drill tunnel orientation with the help of anatomical landmarks. However, the practical implementation is limited by the often complex and time-consuming nature of the planning steps. For this reason, we propose an automatic solution for safe guide pin path planning based on bone contour extraction, axis detection, anatomical landmark detection, and geometrical construction. We evaluate our approach for the task of double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery on the lateral tibia using 38 clinical X-ray images. Our method achieves a median path angulation error of 0.37∘0.37° and a median localization error of 0.96 mm for the ligament attachment center.
