Abstract

Objective To get the length parameters in vivo of ligaments of healthy knees of Chinese during weight-bearing flexion after motion analysis with the 2D/3D registration technique. Methods 2 orthogonal X ray images of knees were got under weight-bearing flexion 0°, 15°, 30°, 60°, and 90° in 8 healthy knees of volunteers. These orthogonal images were then imported into virtual fluoroscopic registration system and registered with the three-dimensional models which were reconstructed from CT data with the 2D/3D image registration technology. After 2D/3D image registration, the three-dimensional motions of knees under weight-bearing were showed. Through the bone insertion of ACL/PCL, MCL/LCL, the length parameters of ligaments in vivo were analyzed. Results With the flexion angle increased, ACL length gradually shortened, from (27.73±1.34)mm at 0° to (23.34±1.48)mm at 90°s; PCL length increased gradually, from (26.5±1.65) mm at 0° to (33.80±1.97) mm at 90°; MCL length decreased gradually, From(38.17±1.40) mm at 0° to (35.98±1.50) mm at 90°; LCL length gradually reduced, from (52.56±1.64)mm at 0° to (50.22±1.41) mm at 90 °. Differences have statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusions The in vivo ligaments parameters of the healthy knee at different flexion angle can be got through the 2D/3D image registration technique.
