A Joint 2D-3D Statistical Shape Model for Orthopedic Reconstruction

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 8, 2026 · UTC

Three-dimensional femoral reconstruction from radiographs supports surgical planning, implant sizing, and post-operative follow-up, but remains ill-posed as X-ray projections discard depth information. Existing methods often incorporate a 3D statistical shape model (SSM) as a shape prior to guide reconstructions toward anatomically plausible shapes, relying on iterative 3D-to-2D projection matching. Yet, these approaches are computationally expensive and constrain their SSM to a single dimensionality, leaving the statistical relationship between 2D observations and 3D geometry largely unexploi
