METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING ATTITUDE OF ACETABULUM AND FEMORAL HEAD IN REAL TIME DURING HIP JOINT REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
First Claim
1. A method for acquiring relative pose in real time between an acetabulum and a femoral head in hip replacement, the method comprising:
- a) disposing pressure sensors and/or touch sensors at pressure-concerning positions in the hip replacement on a femoral head trial whereby forming a sensor array;
b) acquiring signals of interactive contacts and forces between the femoral head trial and the acetabulum by the sensor array, and transmitting the signals wirelessly; and
c) receiving the signals by a wireless receiver and displaying the signals by a display module whereby simulating relative pose between the acetabulum and the femoral head in real time.

Abstract
A method and system for acquiring the attitudes of an acetabulum and a femoral head in real time during an artificial hip joint replacement procedure; during hip joint replacement, a pressure sensor and/or a touch sensor are disposed at each pressure point concerned for a femoral head prosthesis test mould, forming a sensor array (1); the sensor array (1) acquires the contact and stress conditions between the femoral head prosthesis test mould and the acetabulum, and sends out a signal; and a receiving terminal receives and displays the signal on a display module, and acquires the simulated attitudes of the acetabulum and the femoral head. The system comprises a sensor array (1), a necessary peripheral circuit, and a signal receiving and display device for receiving and displaying the signal sent by the peripheral circuit. The present invention can accurately simulate the presented attitude of the femoral head prosthesis during hip joint replacement procedure, so that a doctor can intuitively see the position and movement condition of the femoral head prosthesis during the procedure, thus improving the success rate and curative effect of the hip joint replacement procedure.
