Development and Application of Automated Preoperative Planning System for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip via Keypoint Selective Integration
摘要
This study developed and prospectively validated a deep learning–based automated preoperative planning system for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to guide osteotomy. Using 3544 anteroposterior pelvic radiographs, a selective keypoint integration strategy combining YOLOv11-Pose, YOLOv11, and YOLOv13 models achieved a mean pixel error of 9.68 pixels with 100% keypoint recall. The system automatically calculates acetabular index, neck-shaft angle, and center–edge angle, and recommends PHP plates based on predefined geometric rules and patient weight. In a multicenter randomized controlled trial with 30 DDH patients and six surgeons, AI planning reduced time from 170.5 ± 4.7 s (manual) to 0.0606 s (P < 0.001), matched expert acetabular index accuracy (P = 0.327), showed slightly higher but clinically acceptable neck-shaft angle error (P < 0.001), and achieved 92.3% plate recommendation concordance (P = 0.106). This first prospective RCT demonstrates expert-level DDH planning in seconds, advancing AI toward surgical guidance. Clinical trial registration: ChiCTR2600119719 (registered on 2026–03-03).
