Abstract :
The goal of this project is to integrate a haptic device with 3-D models generated from radiological data to provide a simulation tool for arthroscopic surgery. A haptic tool having six-degrees of freedom is combined with a three dimensional model generated from MRI data to simulate the arthroscopic procedure used to treat patients with lesions in the articular cartilage. The force feedback capability of the haptic device is modified to simulate the feel that a surgeon experiences while performing an arthroscopic procedure
