  • Patent number: 12636042
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR)-assisted enhanced fracture reduction fixator includes a bidirectional telescopic rod and two connecting columns, a ball groove is provided in a middle part of each of the two connecting columns, a ball is rotatably connected to an inner wall of each of the two ball grooves, and the two balls are fixedly connected to a telescopic end of the bidirectional telescopic rod. A rectangular slider is slid to a suitable needle insertion position and angle, and a bone nail is inserted into proximal and distal ends of a fracture. Then, the rectangular slider is fixed by screwing. Based on different fracture sites of a patient, two fixing frame bodies need to adapt to the fracture sites of the patient, that is, an angle between the two fixing frame bodies will change. The ball rotates in the corresponding ball groove.

  • Publication number: 20260069336
    Abstract: A portable vacuum mixing device for bone cement during surgery, includes an extraction housing and a mixing housing. A miniature vacuum pump is fixedly connected to an upper end of the extraction housing, a powder raw material inlet is provided at a position of the upper end of the extraction housing close to the miniature vacuum pump, and a liquid raw material storage cavity is formed inside the extraction housing. A mixing chamber is provided inside the mixing housing, and a bone cement mixing unit is provided inside the mixing housing. The device is compact and portable, allowing for its use directly within the operating room during an ongoing surgery. Moreover, by employing the bone cement mixing unit, the device significantly reduces manual labor intensity. Owing to the implementation of vacuum mixing, the device achieves a better mixing effect.

  • Publication number: 20250378625
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for overlay presentation of a skeletal image based on augmented reality, relating to the technical field of smart medical systems. The method includes obtaining fracture imaging data for a fracture region of a patient, the fracture imaging data including a CT image, an X-ray image, and a light-field image; parsing a ray model corresponding to the light-field image, the ray model providing spatial propagation information of a light in the fracture region of the patient; determining a multimodal fusion feature corresponding to the fracture imaging data based on the ray model and a feature fusion network; reconstructing a three-dimensional model of a fracture part based on the multimodal fusion feature; and aligning and calibrating the reconstructed three-dimensional model of the fracture part with the fracture region of the patient in an actual surgical scene.
