Abstract

PURPOSE: The use of robotic continuum manipulators has been proposed to facilitate less-invasive orthopedic surgical procedures. While tools and strategies have been developed, critical challenges such as system control and intra-operative guidance are under-addressed. Simulation tools can help solve these challenges, but several gaps limit their utility for orthopedic surgical systems, particularly those with continuum manipulators. Herein, a simulation platform which addresses these gaps is presented as a tool to better understand and solve challenges for minimally invasive orthopedic procedures.
