3D kinematics of mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty using X-ray fluoroscopy
2015
Purpose
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) 3D kinematic analysis requires 2D/3D image registration of X-ray fluoroscopic images and a computer-aided design (CAD) model of the knee implant. However, these techniques cannot provide information on the radiolucent polyethylene insert, since the insert silhouette does not appear clearly in X-ray images. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the 3D kinematics of the polyethylene insert, particularly the mobile-bearing insert. A technique for 3D kinematic analysis of a mobile-bearing insert used in TKA was developed using X-ray fluoroscopy. The method was tested and a clinical application was evaluated.
