“…Haptic minimally invasive hybrid virtual simulation solutions for arthroscopic knee procedures have been proposed [109]. The Geomagic Touch [84] haptic device was modified for MIS simulation, including incision of the arthroscopic camera, positioning of the instrument in front of camera and using scissors and graspers.…”

This review presents current virtual reality based training simulators for hip, knee and other orthopaedic surgery, including elective and trauma surgical procedures. There have not been any reviews focussing on hip and knee orthopaedic simulators. A comparison of existing simulator features is provided to identify what is missing and what is required to improve upon current simulators. In total 11 total hip replacement pre-operative planning tools were analysed, plus 9 hip trauma fracture training simulators. Additionally 9 knee arthroscopy simulators and 8 other orthopaedic simulators were included for comparison. The findings are that for orthopaedic surgery simulators in general, there is increasing use of patient-specific virtual models which reduce the learning curve. Modelling is also being used for patient-specific implant design and manufacture. Simulators are being increasingly validated for assessment as well as training. There are very few training simulators available for hip replacement, yet more advanced virtual reality is being used for other procedures such as hip trauma and drilling. Training simulators for hip replacement and orthopaedic surgery in general lag behind other surgical procedures for which virtual reality has become more common. Further developments are required to bring hip replacement training simulation up to date with other procedures. This suggests there is a gap in the market for a new high fidelity hip replacement and resurfacing training simulator.

Thin deformable tissues modeling for simulation of arthroscopic knee surgery

Minimally invasive surgery is common in present hospitals since it has many advantages over traditional open surgery. However, the skills which it requires are very different from those developed in doing traditional surgery, and they have to be learnt in a different way. A survey of the current training methods reveals that using virtual reality simulators is a promising direction for training minimally invasive surgery, and it requires the developers to improve accuracy and efficiency of human tissue simulations. A further survey of existing deformable models for real time surgical-training simulations leads to the conclusion that there is room for research for developing new thin tissue models in which one of the dimensions is significantly smaller than the other two. A new generic model is proposed for deformation and cutting of thin deformable tissues in real time. The tissues may develop wrinkles when pressed with virtual probes, as well as they can be trimmed and cut with different virtual surgical instruments using desktop haptic devices. The model is then applied to three tissues for simulating virtual arthroscopic surgery: meniscus, ligament and cartilage. The main attention was paid to the meniscus to be realistically deformed while developing wrinkles when tested with the virtual probe, as well as to be cut and trimmed at its edge with various virtual instruments. Ligaments were simulated for displaying their realistic deformation when examined with the surgical hook and cartilage was IV mostly used to modeling its geometry and elastic properties when examined with haptic devices. A side-by-side comparison with actual surgical videos verifies the simulation accuracy. To demonstrate its flexibility, the model was also applied to other objects such as a piece of meat and a thin paper sheet. To validate the obtained results, a virtual reality knee arthroscopic prototype simulator is developed. The proposed models are combined with a scene graph structure and implemented using SOFA. The performances for the implementation of different settings of collision meshes are compared and discussed. The usability and feasibility of the proposed methods are further verified by the real time simulations of various surgical procedures, which include meniscus examination, punching out torn tissues, removing tissues pieces by pieces, and contouring the edge of meniscus.

“…Therefore, as part of the externally funded project a three-dimensional simulation is also under development. 2D images of the exterior of the knee are still used to guide the insertion of the camera and the tool at the appropriate positions as illustrated in (Rasool et al, 2013).…”
