Computer-Assisted Musculoskeletal Surgery

Beschreibung

_{This book presents the latest advances in computer-aided methods for musculoskeletal surgery. Topics including preoperative planning, navigational tools, patient-specific resections, and robotic devices used in computer-assisted surgery are discussed. The various simulation and training materials currently available are described.}

_{Computer-Assisted Musculoskeletal Surgery: Thinking and Executing in 3D is aimed at surgeons, oncologists, and research and development scientists, especially those working with computer-assisted technologies.}

Computer-Assisted Surgery (CAS) is a new tool for performing complex procedures in a predictable and safe way. This book is designed to serve as a comprehensive review of Computer-Assisted Surgery, covering the current status of both research and applications.

CAS includes Virtual Preoperative Planning (VPP) and Intraoperative Virtual Navigation (IVN), which are a set of technologies used to measure oncological margins in 3-Dimensions (3D), to locate small intraosseous tumors and apply controlled resections preserving anatomical structures. During VPP, patient acquired multimodal images are processed and an interactive virtual scenario is created. This can then be used as a  platform to  measure oncological distances and preplan osteotomies in safe areas. IVN is a procedure which allows the execution of the VPP with a mean error of less than 3mm.

For the student, medical doctors, research and development scientists or new researchers, the protocols are central to the performance of Computer-Assisted technologies.
