Abstract
AbstractBackground and Aim: The application of augmented reality (AR) navigation & tracking in spine and orthopaedic have been very limited during spinal surgeries because the component of AR has not been subjected to objective evaluation and validation. This study aimed to evaluate and validate the application of AR in tracking and navigation of spine surgery to be sure that they can guarantee intraoperative accuracy and precision by reviewing journals on the focused subject. Methodology: We introduce the augmented reality surgical navigation (ARSN) which consists of the Data acquisition, automated tracking and navigation, and navigation feedback (DANF) workflow that we consider the necessary factors for seamless, accurate, precise, and flexible operation during spinal surgery. We propose that these system components should become a yardstick for evaluating and validating the applicability, and appropriateness of any navigation and tracking systems that have existed or that will exist. Result: DANF is evaluated based on its fitness for purpose. A comparison of this system was carried out with the models presented in existing pieces of literature. Findings reveal that AR is feasible and provides high precision and can deploy in surgery.KeywordsSurgical navigationPrecisionAccuracyAugmented realityAutomatic trackingPedicle screw
