Abstract
A three-dimensional pre-surgical planner and image-guided surgery system for high tibial osteotomy has been developed. The planning software permits a surgeon to establish the tibial axes, plan the corrective osteotomy, and visualize both the preoperative state and the predicted postoperative state in three dimensions. The parameters that describe the placement and orientation of the osteotomy resection planes can be transmitted to an accompanying guidance system that allows the surgeon to accurately perform the planned procedure. Tests were performed in vitro to compare the accuracy of the computer-enhanced technique to the traditional technique, and an in vivo pilot study has been initiated. The computer-enhanced technique produced a significant reduction in the error of correction and is simple to use while performing the surgical procedure. The work indicates that three-dimensional planning and surgical performance of high tibial osteotomy is essential to the accuracy of the procedure.
