Design of a vibration damping robot and force evaluation in intraoperative robotic-assisted femoral shaft repair using a modified soft damper.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Closed intra-medullary nailing fixation is a method for treating fractured femurs with minimal invasiveness. However, this method lacks safety and precision. To avert prevailing problems such as extended cracks in the already broken bone,...

Feasibility and accuracy of orthopaedic surgical robot system for intraoperative navigation to locate bone tunnel in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The combination of navigational system and robotics has the potential to accurately identify and drill bone tunnels in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This study explores the feasibility and accuracy of bone tunnel positi...

Curriculum learning for improved femur fracture classification: Scheduling data with prior knowledge and uncertainty.

Medical image analysis
An adequate classification of proximal femur fractures from X-ray images is crucial for the treatment choice and the patients' clinical outcome. We rely on the commonly used AO system, which describes a hierarchical knowledge tree classifying the ima...

Equal bony resection of distal and posterior femur will lead to flexion/extension gap inequality in robot-assisted cruciate-retaining TKA.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: Joint imbalance has become one of the main reasons for early revision after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and it is directly related to the surgical technique. Therefore, a better understanding of how much bone has to be removed to obtain a ...

'Skywalker' surgical robot for total knee arthroplasty: An experimental sawbone study.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Currently, robot-assisted surgical systems are used to reduce the error range of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) osteotomy and component positioning.

Better precision of a new robotically assisted system for total knee arthroplasty compared to conventional techniques: A sawbone model study.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of this new HURWA robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) technique to the accuracy of the conventional technique in a sawbone model.

Prediction of femoral osteoporosis using machine-learning analysis with radiomics features and abdomen-pelvic CT: A retrospective single center preliminary study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis has increased and developed into a serious public health concern worldwide. Despite the high prevalence, osteoporosis is silent before major fragility fracture and the osteoporosis screening rate is low. Abdomen-pelvic CT (AP...

Deep learning for the radiographic diagnosis of proximal femur fractures: Limitations and programming issues.

Orthopaedics & traumatology, surgery & research : OTSR
INTRODUCTION: Radiology is one of the domains where artificial intelligence (AI) yields encouraging results, with diagnostic accuracy that approaches that of experienced radiologists and physicians. Diagnostic errors in traumatology are rare but can ...

Deep Learning for US Image Quality Assessment Based on Femoral Cartilage Boundary Detection in Autonomous Knee Arthroscopy.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Knee arthroscopy is a complex minimally invasive surgery that can cause unintended injuries to femoral cartilage or postoperative complications, or both. Autonomous robotic systems using real-time volumetric ultrasound (US) imaging guidance hold pote...

Classification of femur trochanteric fracture: Evaluating the reliability of Tang classification.

Injury
INTRODUCTION: Given the drawbacks of a femoral intertrochanteric fracture classification based on 2-dimensional radiographic imaging, an artificial intelligence-based classification system- the Tang classification system-which uses 3-dimensional imag...
