Replacing the humeral head with an artificial one via surgery is one of the options to treat glenohumeral osteoarthritis. Thus, designing the artificial humeral head is an important step to alter clinical outcomes. In order to design the artificial humeral head, the individual variety of the humeral heads should be investigated. The statistical shape model (SSM) has been attracting considerable attention to grasp 3-D shape variety; however, no method to derive the SSM of humeral heads has been studied. This paper proposes a method to construct an SSM of humeral heads based on the anatomical landmarks in shoulder computed tomography (CT) images. The proposed method consists of three steps: humeral head extraction, position and pose alignment, and finally, principle component analysis. The method was applied to 22 male subjects with leave-one-out cross validation. The proposed method obtained an average Dice coefficient of 0.92 to represent the individual shape using the constructed SSM. According to shape analysis of the humeral head, we found that the thickness of the humeral head was associated with individual characteristics of the humeral head. Therefore, it can be said that this study can provide patient-specific design of an artificial humeral head.

We studied the three-dimensional (3-D) shape variations and symmetry of the lunate to evaluate whether a contralateral shape-based approach to design patient-specific implants for treatment of Kienböck’s disease is accurate. A 3-D statistical shape model of the lunate was built using the computed tomography scans of 54 lunate pairs and shape symmetry was evaluated based on an intraclass correlation analysis. The lunate shape was not bilaterally symmetrical in (1) the angle scaphoid surface – radius-ulna surface, (2) the dorsal side and the length of the side adjacent to the triquetrum, (3) the orientation of the volar surface, (4) the width of the side adjacent to the scaphoid, (5) the skewness in the coronal plane and (6) the curvature of bone articulating with the hamate and capitate. These findings suggest that using the contralateral lunate to design patient-specific lunate implants may not be as accurate as it is intended.

Sex determination from skeletons is an important research subject in forensic medicine. Previous skeletal sex assessments are through subjective visual analysis by anthropologists or metric analysis of sexually dimorphic features. In this work, we present an automatic sex determination method for 3D digital skulls, in which a statistical shape model for skulls is constructed, which projects the high-dimensional skull data into a low-dimensional shape space, and Fisher discriminant analysis is used to classify skulls in the shape space. This method combines the advantages of metrical and morphological methods. It is easy to use without professional qualification and tedious manual measurement. With a group of Chinese skulls including 127 males and 81 females, we choose 92 males and 58 females to establish the discriminant model and validate the model with the other skulls. The correct rate is 95.7% and 91.4% for females and males, respectively. Leave-one-out test also shows that the method has a high accuracy.
