Summary
•
Date
: April 10, 2012
•
Time
: 11:30AM – 1:30 PM
•
Place
: International Center for
Orthopaedic Advancement, Bayview
Medical Center, Alpha Center
•
Materials/Devices
–
Cadaver specimen (extracted femur)
–
C-arm (make/model: ***?)
–
Beads (McMaster-Carr, stainless steel)
–
Super glue (Loctite Ultra Gel Control)
–
Drill with small diameter bit
–
Forceps, scissors, scalpel
Femur with different size BBs
attached with super glue
Methods
1.
Cleared overlying tissue using scissors and scalpel to expose bone
2.
Drilled three very shallow burrs in distal end of femur (closely spaced,
~1-2 cm apart)
3.
Applied super glue to burrs
4.
Placed BB in each burr using forceps
5.
Generously applied super glue over the BBs
Repeated steps 1-5 for four different size BBs, using three BBs of each size.
6.
Let glue dry for at least 10 minutes.
7.
Acquired two C-arm images at different view angles.
8.
Attempted to dislodge BBs from bone by
a.
Hitting bone against hand
b.
Striking bone with mallet
c.
Picking BBs off with forceps
9.
Evaluated images for
a.
BB visibility (image contrast between BBs and surrounding bone/tissue)
b.
Ability to distinguish between BB sizes
Methods

Results (Zoom In)
Discussion – BB Fixation
•
No BBs dislodged after hitting bone
against hand and striking bone with
mallet
–
Similar to mock surgical conditions
•
Could pick off BBs with forceps
–
Not similar to mock surgical conditions
•
Conclusion
: We predict that our
method should hold BBs in place
during a cadaver surgery.
•
BBs visible on x-ray. Good
image contrast versus
background tissue.
•
Radial symmetry algorithm
could automatically
distinguish between large
and small BBs.
–
Conclusion:
Should be
possible to use different size
BBs as confidence and
fragment points.
Discussion – Image Analysis
Controls detection
sensitivity (higher
value
fewer BBs
detected)
Experiment conducted using a cadaver specimen to assess the feasibility of BB implantation and visibility on X-ray images. The team cleared tissue, drilled burrs in the femur, attached BBs, and evaluated visibility and sizing on C-arm images. Results showed successful BB fixation. Predicted method feasibility for cadaver surgeries.
