Application progress in TiRobot-assisted fracture surgery / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

With technological innovations in computer, navigation and robotics, more and more robot-assisted orthopaedic surgeries have been put into clinical practice, such as joint replacement surgery, spine surgery, bone tumor surgery, arthroscopy and fracture fixation surgery, providing a new direction for minimally invasive, precise and personalized treatment of diseases in clinic. TiRobot, an orthopedic robotic system independently developed by China, has been widely used in spine and trauma orthopedic surgery. This article reviews the applications of TiRobot in fracture surgery and in remote surgery, and introduces the progress in application of TiRobot to assist treatments of spinal and cervical fractures, thoracolumbar fractures, pelvic and acetabular fractures, hip fractures, and hand and foot fractures.
