Progress in clinical application of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery

Abstract

ABSTRACT With the rapid development of computer technology, new materials, 5G communication, artificial intelligence and robot technology, computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) technology has obtained an unprecedented opportunity for development, which has greatly promoted the personalized, accurate and minimally invasive process of orthopedic surgery. Compared with traditional orthopedic surgery, CAOS has significant advantages in implementing accurate surgery, shortening operation time, reducing patient trauma and reducing intraoperative X-ray radiation exposure. However, with the increasing medical needs of patients and the increasing medical costs, the technology of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery still needs to be improved. This paper mainly summarizes the current situation of clinical application of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery, focusing on following four aspects: broken bone splicing and restoration technology, 3D printing guide plate assisted orthopedic surgery, computer-assisted navigation in orthopedic surgery and orthopedic surgery robot technology. At the same time, the problems and difficulties existing in CAOS are discussed, and the author's own views on the future development of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery are put forward.
