Application progress of artificial intelligence in intraoperative navigation in orthopaedic surgery / 中华骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Orthopaedic surgery is complex and delicate. The Orthopaedic Navigation System is developed to provide an augmented reality three-dimensional (3D) visualization environment to improve treatment outcomes by analyzing preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data. With the rapid development and clinical application of digital technology, artificial intelligence technology has been introduced into orthopaedic intraoperative navigation system. Artificial intelligence, combined with instrumentation devices and imaging technology, enhances the visualization capabilities of orthopaedic surgeons, allowing them to receive real-time feedback and guidance during surgery, which in turn provides optimal clinical decision-making. The application of artificial intelligence to intraoperative orthopaedic navigation also improves the repeatability of procedures and reduces the incidence of human error. This paper reviews the current status of the application of artificial intelligence in orthopaedic intraoperative navigation, and introduces the basic concepts of artificial and the development of image alignment, real-time tracking, and 3D visualization techniques based on artificial intelligence, as well as discusses the current limitations and shortcomings.
