Description

During knee arthroscopy, the surgeon is under significant pressure to guide the surgical instrument through the knee joint without damaging the joint internal structures. To alleviate the burden on surgeons, this study develops a novel real-time algorithm to quantify the uncertainty of internal knee gap measurements – a key requirement toward autonomous knee arthroscopy.

We demonstrate through cadaveric experiments, the measurement and uncertainty quantification of the knee gap in real-time. Through approximating of our previous point cloud method to analyse the knee gap measurement uncertainty, the computational time is significantly reduced from greater than two hours (mainly to calculate the range of the instrument gap) to 31 milliseconds. Additionally, we show that there is a minimal decrease in accuracy of 0.19mm between the point cloud and the approximation techniques.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
