Virtual reality simulation to train Surgeons in Knee Arthroplasty
Abstract—Virtual reality (VR) in medical field is rising in the advancement of technology efficiency. Orthopedics play an important role in VR medical field. Surgeons are trained base on VR that helps in evaluating their performance. Moreover, less supervision of human is required in the presence of VR simulation. Knee arthroplasty is discussed deeper in the work of VR simulation by volumetric modelling using OpenGL libraries in orthopedic surgical training. The conversion of data from 2D image to 3D image helps in the practice among surgeons in the system architecture of volumetric simulation. It provide a fully immersive VR. This VR simulation is also known as a volumetric simulation and surgical simulation. The modules in the system architecture enhances the performance of the system interface to train surgeons according to the standard methods to perform a surgery. Knee arthroplasty simulation is based on the simulation by a computer assisted surgery.

In this paper, knee arthroplasty will be discussed in detailed of the performance in the surgical simulator based on its system architecture. The application of VR in orthopedic surgery is vastly used to measure the performance of the surgeons in order to gain skillful surgeons. The success obtained in this field is because the surgical simulator provides a detailed information of the simulated anatomical features such as the tissues, the equipment used in the surgery and the action of the surgeons themselves to carry out the surgery. The information is adequate that increase the performance of the surgeons during surgery due to the comprehensive training by the
According to Diaz (2008), the results from the study showed that the images from the new 3D technology were far clearer and more defined when compared to the US-A traditional device. In muscle contusions and lesions of the tendons, the definitions of hemorrhaged areas increased dramatically. The images from the chronic ligament injuries showed where the scar tissue had formed and provided a better visualization of the damaged tissue. Finally, the new US-B system allowed the ultrasound specialist to see the contents of the bursa sac and thickness of the walls more clearly.

Recently, articular surgery robot named ‘ROBODOC’ or ‘RIO’ has been widely used for arthritis or arthroplasty. Both robots consist of arthroscope and tiny surgical instruments. Many surgeons estimated that articular surgery using these robots is more accurate, elaborate than using an arthroscope and small surgical instrument,
These physicians treat and diagnose illness and injuries such as broken bones and work trauma patients who need rehabilitation. Almost half of an orthopedic surgeons work is surgical and the remainder is medical treatment. To become an orthopedic surgeon one must follow an educational path through college to medical school and residency, a process that takes about 12 years. Medical school includes subjects such as human anatomy, physiology, chemistry, biology, human development and advanced mathematics. Most programs require an orthopedic surgeon to take 4 years of orthopedic residency training and one year in general surgery, internal medicine or pediatrics. In an orthopedic surgery residency, students learn to diagnose medical problems and begin to perform surgeries. They might also work in specialized areas such as spinal cord rehabilitation or with specific groups of patients like amputees. Students also attend lecture classes such as molecular biology, prosthetics and infectious diseases. Orthopedic surgeons must also learn specific skills that include methods of preventing infections, for example: washing hands, using sterile gloves or other protective equipment, and positioning and using surgical instruments. They use many tools to insert equipment parts such as rods, pins, and bolts; the surgeon must learn how to use all of these tools correctly or they can injure the patient by accident. In addition,
If you could think about how many stars there is up in the sky, that is how many possible surgeries there is. I have chosen to do the topic “Orthopedic” Surgical Technician. The medical terminology “Ortho” means “bones”. The term “orthopedics” means
The Da Vinci Surgical System is a large purpose-built robot controlled by a surgeon that performs minimally invasive surgical procedures on patients. The system incorporates an ergonomically designed surgeon's console, a patient-side module with four interactive robotic arms, each with interchangeable surgical instruments and a 3-dimensional endoscopic vision system. Powered by high-tech supercomputers, the surgeon's hand movements are scaled, filtered and then converted into precise movements of the surgical attachments. The designers of the system are a team of doctors, engineers and biomedical engineers at a company called Intuitive Surgical.

I chose the Da Vinci Surgical system as my topic because I am interested into going to physical therapy or into the orthopedics field after undergrad. Surgical equipment is highly important due to the hundreds of accidents that happen and also the high percentage of diseases. As these incidents occur it is important to consider the safety of the patient when it comes to cutting into their bodies. With the invention of the Da Vinci Surgical system it helped with vision and different viewpoints of the patient’s body and also improves precision. It is important to have a machine or tool for more than one type of surgery, one to use on patients with different injuries or diseases. Overall, this surgical system helps improve and help further research how precise and how in control a surgeon can be.
A robot-assisted surgery demonstrates how far America and the whole world have come in means of technology within a particular working field. The necessity for a more superior technology within hospital settings are best supported by the development of the da Vinci Surgical System. In 1991, when the surgical system was introduced to the globe, many acknowledged that this system improved three different aspects of regular laparoscopic surgery: it gave doctor...
Orthopedic surgeons are responsible for mending and operating on the musculoskeletal system. “Orthopedics is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, care, and treatment of patients with disorders of the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, and skin” (Career in Orthopaedics). Depending on the damage the patient has sustained determines how the orthopedic surgeon is able to correct the patient’s injury. In many cases there are multiple ways of correcting the patient’s injury such as; using medical, physical, and rehabilitative techniques to using complex surgical methods. “Typically, as much as 50 percent of the orthopedic surgeon’s practice is devoted to no surgical or medical management of injuries or disease and 50 percent to surgical management” (Career in Orthopaedics). The majority of surgeons, including orthopedic surgeons, prefer to choose the least invasive procedures such as; arthroscopy which is a technological advancement allowing orthopedic surgeons to use special cameras in order to diagnose and treat a joint with minimal cutting and trauma to...
Haptics can be found in wide range of devices. In the extreme with respect to precision, surgical simulators use haptics to provide realistic forces that emulate the feel of a real medical procedure. In the extreme with respect to the magnitude of t...
Since the beginning of time, human beings have been in search of ways to advance life as we know it. Every single day, somewhere in the world, technology is being transformed and an exciting new piece is birthed into society. Perhaps, one of the most influential advances is in our ever evolving medical profession. Thus, as technology continues to change the world as we know it, it is sweeping the medical field right along with it. Surgical procedures are being drastically improved with the use of robotic technology called da Vinci.
The advantages of using technology in healthcare are far too many to enumerate. As we become more and more dependent on intelligent machines in the medical field, computation technology, specifically, will have a vital role to play in the coming years. They simplify the design process of medical equipment (like prosthetics, stents, pacemakers, etc.), help simulate the effects of a particular device or drug on the human body, consolidate & manage patient records in a central database, etc. Computers are also living up to the challenge of fulfilling out ever-increasing demands of precision and efficiency.
The utilization of robotics in the medical field is a cutting-edge technology which continues to develop rapidly. The main purpose for the integration of medical robotics in health-care is to sanction for a greater sense of accuracy in surgical procedures, which is something that has not been previously achieved by human capabilities alone. This sense of accuracy has incremented what makes medical robotics a unique and valuable integration to the field of medicine. The field of medical robotics offers great potential for maximizing the capabilities of medicos and surgeons when performing complex surgical procedures, or when there is a strong need for dexterity and precision in diagnosis and treatment. Although the interest is mainly on surgical robotics, medical robotics covers a wide variety of patient-care areas.
Augmented reality actually has given a lot of contribution to various applications using 3D real environment. This review focuses on the medical visualization such in situ visualization device. The developed software will make an expert can contribute by create a real virtual environment in 3D so that the doctors easily to interact with. (Shuhaibar JH, 2004) defined augmented reality is a new approach in executing detailed surgical operations. More research needed to evaluate long-term clinical. It is important to have these technologies in order to create a human better life.
