Abstract

Total hip arthroplasty(THA) considerably depends on high-experienced doctors because of high difficulty of the operation. Selection of acetabular cup's and femoral implant's position is closely related with success or failure of THA. Nevertheless the selection has usually depended on doctor's eye measurement, which makes the position accuracy of artificial joint lower after THA, often resulting in revision of THA. The present study determined a method to select accurately the position of acetabular cup and femoral implant through surgical simulation with 3D characteristic geometrical information of patient's pelvis and femur. We examined the change of femoral anteversion angle and neck-shaft angle accompanied by the change of acetabular cup's position and the insertion position of femoral implant. As result of analyzing geometrical information through different surgical simulations, we found that it was possible to select the accurate position of acetabular cup and femoral implant. It is expected to help doctors get experienced in THA operation through repetitive surgical simulations using the method suggested in the study.

현재 인공고관절 전치환 수술 과정의 높은 난이도 때문에 숙련된 의사의 경험에 상당히 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 비구컵과 대퇴 임플란트의 위치 선정은 수술의 성공 여부와 밀접한 관계가 있지만 아직까지는 의사의 눈대중에 의해 이루어지는 경우가 많다. 이러한 이유로 인하여 인공삽입물(비구컵, 대퇴시스템) 삽입의 정확성이 낮아서 재치환술을 해야 하는 경우가 자주 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 환자 골반골(pelvis)과 대퇴골(femur)의 3차원적인 고유 기하학적 정보를 이용하는 모사 시술을 통하여 비구컵과 대퇴 임플란트의 정확한 위치를 선정하는 방법을 결정하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 비구컵의 위치 변화에 따른 대퇴 전염각 및 대퇴 경간각의 변화 양상을 살펴보았고 또한 대퇴 임플란트의 삽입 위치에 따른 대퇴스템 경부 길이 및 대퇴스템각의 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 다양한 모사 시술을 통한 기하학적 정보의 분석 결과 비구컵과 대퇴 임플란트의 정확한 위치 선정이 가능함을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 모사 시술 방법을 이용하여 의사가 인공고관절 수술을 선행한다면 수술의 정확도와 숙련도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
