PURPOSE: Hamate fractures are rare fractures of the wrist and there is still no consensus on the optimal treatment for these fractures, especially hook of hamate fractures. Herein, the authors present a case study of a series of patients who were tre...
OBJECTIVES: Scaphoid nonunion remains a challenging problem to manage with no general consensus on its treatment recommendations. We propose a novel minimally invasive (MIS) technique of arthroscopic bone grafting (ABG) with robot-assisted fixation f...

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous pars-pedicle screw fixation surgery for treating Hangman's fracture.
PURPOSE: To compare the merits and demerits of percutaneous robot-assisted screw fixation for nondisplaced pelvic fractures with other treatments via long-term follow-up.
PURPOSE: We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous hollow screw placement combined with tarsal sinus incisions for treating calcaneal fractures.

Cannulated screw fixation is the main therapy for femoral neck fractures, especially in young patients. The traditional surgical procedure uses C-arm fluoroscopy to place the screw freehand and requires several guide wire adjustments, which increases...
OBJECTIVE: Perilunate injuries are rare but devastating carpal injuries. The treatment of perilunate injuries remains challenging and contentious. This study aims to describe a novel mini-invasive surgical technique of arthroscopic-assisted reduction...
BACKGROUND: C1 lateral mass fractures (LMF) cause abnormal alignment of the upper cervical joints. Conservatively treated cases can develop into late cock-robin junction, requiring a reconstructive surgical procedure of the occipitocervical junction....
OBJECTIVE: Accurate placement of the screws is challenging in percutaneous cannulated screw fixation of calcaneal fractures, and robot-assisted (RA) surgery enhances the accuracy. We investigated the outcome of percutaneous cannulated screw fixation ...
