Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate prosthesis placement in arthroplasty is an important factor in the long-term success of these interventions. Many types of guidance technology have been described to date often suffering from high costs, complex theater integration, time inefficiency, and problems with day-to-day usability. We present a novel, intraoperative robotics platform, capable of rapid, real-time manufacture of low-cost patient-specific guides while overcoming many of the issues with existing approaches.
