Advancements in total knee arthroplasty kinematics: 3D implant computer aided design model creation through X-ray or fluoroscopic images

A novel methodology was introduced to overcome common 3-dimentional to 2-dimensional registration limitations by recreating entire families of 3 dimensional models from a limited number of fluoroscopic images for both cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized knee replacement implants. Our algorithm has demonstrated high levels of accuracy with multiple potential extended applications.
