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....

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence in computer vision has been increasingly adapted in clinical application since the implementation of neural networks, potentially providing incremental information beyond the mere detection of pathology. As its algori...
BACKGROUND: Missed fractures are the leading cause of diagnostic error in the emergency department, and fractures of pediatric bones, particularly subtle wrist fractures, can be misidentified because of their varying characteristics and responses to ...

The complex shape of the foot, consisting of 26 bones, variable ligaments, tendons, and muscles leads to misdiagnosis of foot fractures. Despite the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) to diagnose fractures, the accuracy of foot fracture dia...
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 ...

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of robot-aided percutaneous triangular osteosynthesis combined with close reduction for vertically unstable sacrum fractures (VUSFs).
PURPOSE: This study is to compare the precision and safety of the orthopaedic robot with conventional fluoroscopy for assisted percutaneous sacroiliac joint screw implantation.
The length of stay (LOS) in hospital is one of the main parameters for evaluating the management of a health facility, of its departments in relation to the different specializations. Healthcare costs are in fact closely linked to this parameter as w...
