Background
Oscillating saws generate high levels of heat (up to 150°C), which can lead to tissue necrosis, delayed healing and infection. Abrasive waterjet‐cutting techniques have been described as a new tool to perform bone cuts, with less heat generation.
Methods
Four lower‐limbs of four human alcohol conserved cadavers were tested. Navigation references were attached to the tibia and an intraoperative...
In der orthopädischen Chirurgie werden selbstauflösende Implantate aus Polyglykolid oder Polylaktid, z.B. zur ossären Fixierung von Kreuzbandimplantaten, regelhaft verwendet. Primäre Vorteile sind eine artefaktfreie Darstellung in Nativröntgenbild oder in der Schnittbilddiagnostik sowie die Vermeidung von Sekundäreingriffen zur Implantatentfernung. Sekundär kann das so genannte „stress-shielding“...
Displacement osteotomy is an operative method for load relieving of pre-damaged joints through the correction of skeletally-based abnormal displacements of leg axes. We present an experimental operating room set-up to demonstrate the applicability of a robot guided water jet osteotomy for human tibial bones. We show that smooth, circular shaped cut surfaces can be obtained with this technology that...
