BackgroundComputer assisted systems in orthopaedic trauma depend in most cases on fixed reference markers. This work evaluated a reference‐free image‐based guidance system. Outcome parameters were the number of trials needed to achieve an optimal wire position, the radiation and procedure time, and the learning curve.
MethodsForty artificial proximal femora covered in polyurethane foam were used and...
BackgroundAnatomical reconstruction of the coracoclavicular ligaments is a relatively new technique for acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries.
MethodsEighteen procedures (nine non‐navigated, nine navigated) of anatomical reconstruction were performed minimally invasively, using the Tight Rope system, on cadaveric shoulders. Two Kirschner wires were placed, freehand under fluoroscopic control (non‐navigated)...
BackgroundReversed shoulder arthroplasty is an alternative to total shoulder arthroplasty for various indications. The long‐term results depend on stable bone fixation, and correct positioning of the glenoid component. The potential contribution of image guidance for reversed shoulder arthroplasty procedures was tested in vitro.
Material and Methods27 positioning procedures (15 navigated, 12 non‐navigated)...
BackgroundDorsal cervical spinal fusion is a challenging procedure in fracture fixation. There is limited information in the literature about computer navigation using lateral mass screws in cases of spinal trauma.
MethodsRetrospective analysis of a prospective database covering an 8 year period. All patients who received a dorsal spinal fusion due to a fracture of the cervical spine were included...
Purpose
Primary objective in most of the published literature on computer‐assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has so far been the comparison of axial alignment and components position, obtained either through navigation systems or through conventional instrumentation. We have found no studies aimed at assessing the intraoperative reliability of a navigation system in relation to bone cuts height...
Background
With an aim of improving prosthesis survivorship of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), use of computer‐assisted technologies (CATs) such as robotics, has been on the rise to reduce intraoperative errors in surgical technique. In light of recent influx of CATs in the UKA, a review of these innovations will help providers to understand their clinical utility.
Method
A systematic...
