Abstract
Essential elements required for proper use of artificial intelligence machine learning tools in biomedical research and scientific publications include (1) explanation justifying why a machine learning approach contributes to the purpose of the study; (2) description of the adequacy of the data (input) to produce the desired results (output); (3) details of the algorithmic (i.e., computational) approach including methods for organizing the data (preprocessing); the machine learning computational algorithm(s) assessed; on what data the models were trained; the presence of bias and efforts to mitigate these effects; and the methods for quantifying the variables (features) most influential in determining the results (e.g., Shapley values); (4) description of methods, and reporting of results, quantitating performance in terms of both model accuracy and model calibration (level of confidence in the model's predictions); (5) availability of the programming code (including a link to the code when available-ideally, the code should be available); (6) discussion of model internal validation (results applicable and sensitive to the population investigated and data on which the model was trained) and external validation (were the results investigated as to whether they are generalizable to different populations? If not, consideration of this limitation and discussion of plans for external validation, i.e., next steps). As biomedical research submissions using artificial intelligence technology increase, these requirements could facilitate purposeful use and comprehensive methodological reporting.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:47. [PMID: 38200451 PMCID: PMC10777528 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07172-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the short-term clinical efficacy and advantages of surgery robot positioning system for insertion of Femoral Neck System (FNS) in the treatment of femoral neck fractures. METHODS The clinical data of 52 patients with Femoral neck fracture (FNF) who had been treated with FNS between June 2020 and September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 26 patients were treated with traditional FNS (control group), while 26 additional patients were treated with FNS assisted by an orthopaedic robot positioning system (study group). The operation duration, frequency of key-guide needle placement, intraoperative blood loss, incision length, fracture healing rate, fracture healing time, and the Harris scores at the last follow-up were calculated and compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The study group had shorter operation duration, fewer numbers of placing the key-guide needle, less intraoperative blood loss, and smaller surgical incisions than the control group (all, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of fracture healing rate between the 2 groups (P = 0.47), while the fracture healing duration of the study group was shorter than that of the control group (P = 0.03). At the last follow-up, compared with the control group, the Harris score and the number of excellent and good ratings were significantly higher in the study group (all, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Using orthopaedic surgery robot positioning system-assisted FNS in the treatment of FNFs can effectively improve the efficiency of surgery, shorten operation time, and reduce the number of placing the key-guide needle, intraoperative blood loss, and operative trauma. Simultaneously, it shortens the duration of fracture healing and improves the recovery of hip function.

Abstract
The introduction of new surgical technology highlights appreciable concerns; robotic arthroplasty is no exception. Acquiring comprehensive understanding of the robotic technology to avoid complications during surgery and devising troubleshooting strategies to overcome potential difficulties is of paramount importance. Troubleshooting algorithms depend on the stage of the procedure and problem encountered, such as loosening of the pins or array, registration or verification problems, or malfunctioning of the device, which is rare. This article aims to outline reproducible workflows and solutions for troubleshooting during robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
Less invasive fixation techniques, such as intramedullary nailing (IMN) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO), are now the preferred choices for treating tibia shaft fractures (TSFs). However, malreduction and radiation exposure are the main deficiencies associated with less invasive fixation techniques, especially when assessing rotation around the shaft axis intra-operatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and reduction accuracy of an innovative technology that integrates robotics and 3D printing for achieving anatomical reduction of TSFs with MIPPO. The surgical workflow from a standardized CT protocol, via 3D reconstruction, 3D printing tibia model, pre-contouring plate, 3D scanning plate, 3D planning of the trajectories of the robot, and use of a commercial surgical robot, robot-assisted screw hole drilling, to automatic fracture reduction through precise installation of the plate was described. The reduction accuracy was evaluated by an optical tracking system. The mean variations of 1.95 ± 1.36mm in length, 1.63 ± 0.92 mm in apposition, 2.78 ± 1.69° in alignment, and 1.99 ± 1.81° in rotation. The interoperator reliabilities were almost perfect, with values of 0.91, 0.93, 0.92, and 0.90, respectively. The proposed technology achieved anatomic reduction on phantom bones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the influence of osteophytes on postoperative gap balancing, and to work out a predictive model of the relationship between osteophyte size and gap gaining in primary total knee replacement. METHODS One hundred and ten patients were enrolled in the study. Pre- and postoperative radiographs were collected and analyzed. They were assigned to the training dataset and test dataset randomly at a ratio of 9:1 by using the statistical package R (version 4.0.5). Size and marginal distances of osteophytes, planned bone cut planes, predicted bone cuts and joint gaps were labeled on the preoperative standing anteroposterior and lateral views, while actual bone cuts and joint gaps were recorded on the postoperative plain films, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS Actual joint gaps were significantly related to the distances of medial and lateral predictive bone cutting lines, bone cut thickness on tibial side and posterior condylar, as well as size and marginal distances of osteophytes (P < 0.05). A predictive equation was generated, with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 3.4761 in validation. A 2-D planning system with adjustable input parameters and dim predictive outputs on joint gap was developed. The equation is [Formula: see text] CONCLUSION: Postoperative joint gap can be predicted on the basis of preoperative measurements on 2-D plain films. Larger sample size may help improve the effectiveness and accuracy of the predictive equation.

Orthop Surg 2023; 15:2786-2793. [PMID: 37580853 PMCID: PMC10622280 DOI: 10.1111/os.13842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE A micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) was developed based on spatial alignment and navigation technology to assist femoral extramedullary alignment osteotomy (FEAO) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The system can locate and adjust the femoral distal condylar osteotomy (FDCO) to obtain a better femoral prosthesis placement. It is a portable navigation device and provides an innovative approach for FDCO. METHODS Sixty patients who suffered from severe knee osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral TKA from May 14, 2021 to May 30, 2022 were randomly divided into a MEMS-FEAO group and a conventional femoral intramedullary alignment osteotomy (FIAO) group, with 30 cases in each group for a controlled retrospective study. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA) of the lower limb was measured before and after surgery, the femoral valgus angle (FVA) was measured preoperatively, and the femoral prosthesis valgus angle (FPVA) and the femoral prosthesis flexion angle (FPFA) were measured postoperatively following computed tomography imaging protocols. Measurement data is statistically described as mean ± standard deviation c. The count data is described by frequency (constituent ratio) using the rank sum test. RESULT A total of 6.7% (2/30) of FEAO compared to 20.0% (6/30) of FIAO cases were postoperative deviations where the HKAA exceeded ±3° of neutral alignment (p < 0.05). The postoperative HKAA was 178.74° ± 1.56° versus 176.64° ± 3.39° (p < 0.05), the HKAA deviation was 1.25° ± 1.56° versus 3.36° ± 3.40° (p < 0.05), and the FPFA was 4.85° ± 2.46° versus 6.60° ± 1.86°(p < 0.05). Therefore, the differences were all statistically significant between the two groups. However, the FPVA was -0.59° ± 2.73° versus -0.80° ± 2.85° (p > 0.05), and there was no statistical significance between the two groups. CONCLUSION The MEMS-FEAO system can improve the accurate alignment and can be utilized as a locator to obtain the best femoral prosthesis placement in TKA and significantly reduce the rate of poor force line of the lower limb.

Abstract
Technological innovation is the key for surgical progress in knee arthroplasty and improvement in patient outcomes. Exploring patented technologies can help elucidate trends and growth for numerous innovative technologies. However, patent databases, which contain millions of patents, remain underused in arthroplasty research. Therefore, the present study aimed to: (1) quantify patent activity; (2) group patents related to similar technologies into well-defined clusters; and (3) compare growth between technologies in the field of knee arthroplasty over a 30-year period. An open-source international patent database was queried from January 1990 to January 2020 for all patents related to knee arthroplasty A search strategy identified 70,154 patents, of which 24,425 were unique and included analysis. Patents were grouped into 14 independent technology clusters using Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) codes. Patent activity was normalized via a validated formula adjusting for exponential growth. Compound annual growth rates (CAGR) were calculated (5-year, 10-year, and 30-year CAGR) and compared for each cluster. Overall yearly patent activity increased by 2,023%, from 104 patents in 1990 to 2,208 patents in 2020. The largest technology clusters were "drugs" (n = 5,347; 23.8%), "components" (n = 4,343; 19.0%), "instruments" (n = 3,130; 13.7%), and "materials" (n = 2,378; 10.4%). The fastest growing technologies with their 5-year CAGR were: "user interfaces for surgical systems" (58.1%); "robotics" (28.6%); "modularity" (21.1%); "navigation" (15.7%); and "computer modeling" (12.5%). Since 1990, overall patent growth rate has been greatest for "computer modeling" (8.4%), "robotics" (8.0%), "navigation" (7.9%), and "patient-specific instrumentation" (6.4%). Most patents in knee arthroplasty for the last 30 years have focused on drugs, components, instruments, and materials. Recent exponential growth was mainly observed for user interfaces for surgical systems, robotics, modularity, navigation, and computer-assisted technologies. Innovation theory would suggest that these rapidly growing technologies are experiencing high innovation output, increased resource investments, growing adoption by providers, and significant clinical impact. Periodic monitoring of technological innovation via patent databases can be useful to establish trends and future directions in the field of knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence (AI) has become involved in many aspects of everyday life, from voice-activated virtual assistants built into smartphones to global online search engines. Similarly, many areas of modern medicine have found ways to incorporate such technologies into mainstream practice. Despite the enthusiasm, robust evidence to support the utility of AI in contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains limited. The purpose of this review was to provide an up-to-date summary of the use of AI in TKA and to explore its current and future value. METHODS Initially, a structured systematic review of the literature was carried out, following PRISMA search principles, with the aim of summarising the understanding of the field and identifying clinical and knowledge gaps. RESULTS A limited body of published work exists in this area. Much of the available literature is of poor methodological quality and many published studies could be best described as "demonstration of concepts" rather than "proof of concepts". There exists almost no independent validation of reported findings away from designer/host sites, and the extrapolation of key results to general orthopaedic sites is limited. CONCLUSION While AI has certainly shown value in a small number of specific TKA-associated applications, the majority to date have focused on risk, cost and outcome prediction, rather than surgical care, per se. Extensive future work is needed to demonstrate external validity and reliability in non-designer settings. Well-performed studies are warranted to ensure that the scientific evidence base supporting the use of AI in knee arthroplasty matches the global hype.

Abstract
Background It is clinically challenging to accurately drill femoral and tibial tunnels to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Mixed reality (MR) technology, a further development of virtual reality technology, presents virtual scene information in real time and establishes an interactive feedback information loop among the real world, the virtual world, and the user. Purpose/Hypothesis The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural and early clinical outcomes of ACL reconstruction assisted by MR technology. It was hypothesized that MR technology would improve the accuracy of tunnel localization. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Included were 44 patients at a single institution who underwent arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction between June 2020 and March 2022. Reconstruction with the aid of MR technology was performed in 21 patients (MR group), and conventional arthroscopic reconstruction was performed in 23 patients. Postoperatively, the parameters related to the bone tunnel positioning were compared by computed tomography imaging with 3-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, and 12-month postoperative clinical outcomes were assessed with the Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee scores. Results There was no statistically significant difference in projection angles in the coronal, axial, or sagittal plane between the preoperative virtually created tunnel guide pin and the actual tunnel (P > .05 for all). In the MR group, the center of the femoral tunnel exit was closer to the apex of the lateral femoral condyle along the proximal-distal axis (14.07 ± 4.12 vs 17.49 ± 6.24 mm for the conventional group; P < .05) and the graft bending angle was lower (117.71° ± 8.08° vs 127.81° ± 11.91° for the conventional group; P < .05). The scatterplot of the femoral tunnel location distribution showed that the entrance and exit points in the MR group were more concentrated and closer to the ideal location of the preoperative design than in the conventional group. Patients in both groups had significant preoperative-to-postoperative improvement based on outcome scores (P < .001 for all), with no significant difference between groups. Conclusion ACL reconstruction with the aid of MR technology allowed for more accurate positioning and orientation of the femoral tunnel during surgery when compared with conventional reconstruction.

Design of Proposed Software System for Prediction of Iliosacral Screw Placement for Iliosacral Joint Injuries Based on X-ray and CT Images. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062138. [PMID: 36983141 PMCID: PMC10054889 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12062138] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
One of the crucial tasks for the planning of surgery of the iliosacral joint is placing an iliosacral screw with the goal of fixing broken parts of the pelvis. Tracking of proper screw trajectory is usually done in the preoperative phase by the acquisition of X-ray images under different angles, which guide the surgeons to perform surgery. This approach is standardly complicated due to the investigation of 2D X-ray images not showing spatial perspective. Therefore, in this pilot study, we propose complex software tools which are aimed at making a simulation model of reconstructed CT (DDR) images with a virtual iliosacral screw to guide the surgery process. This pilot study presents the testing for two clinical cases to reveal the initial performance and usability of this software in clinical conditions. This model is consequently used for a multiregional registration with reference intraoperative X-ray images to select the slide from the 3D dataset which best fits with reference X-ray. The proposed software solution utilizes input CT slices of the pelvis area to create a segmentation model of individual bone components. Consequently, a model of an iliosacral screw is inserted into this model. In the next step, we propose the software CT2DDR which makes DDR projections with the iliosacral screw. In the last step, we propose a multimodal registration procedure, which performs registration of a selected number of slices with reference X-ray, and based on the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) and index of correlation, the procedure finds the best match of DDR with X-ray images. In this pilot study, we also provide a comparative analysis of the computational costs of the multimodal registration upon various numbers of DDR slices to show the complex software performance. The proposed complex model has versatile usage for modeling and surgery planning of the pelvis area in fractures of iliosacral joints.

Abstract
Orthopedic surgery remains technically demanding due to the complex anatomical structures and cumbersome surgical procedures. The introduction of image-guided orthopedic surgery (IGOS) has significantly decreased the surgical risk and improved the operation results. This review focuses on the application of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), augmented reality (AR) and robotics in image-guided spine surgery, joint arthroplasty, fracture reduction and bone tumor resection. For the pre-operative stage, key technologies of AI and DL based medical image segmentation, 3D visualization and surgical planning procedures are systematically reviewed. For the intra-operative stage, the development of novel image registration, surgical tool calibration and real-time navigation are reviewed. Furthermore, the combination of the surgical navigation system with AR and robotic technology is also discussed. Finally, the current issues and prospects of the IGOS system are discussed, with the goal of establishing a reference and providing guidance for surgeons, engineers, and researchers involved in the research and development of this area.

Abstract
Computer-assisted procedures are becoming increasingly more relevant in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The data situation on these systems has improved in recent years but still has a low level of evidence. In particular, data on short-term or medium-term results on the use of these procedures are currently available. These could show that improved precision and reproducibility of the surgical procedures can be achieved by the use of computer-assisted procedures. Nevertheless, there is still no recommendation in the current guidelines for routine use.

Robot-assisted knee arthroplasty improves component positioning and alignment, but results are inconclusive on whether it improves clinical scores or reduces complications and revisions: a systematic overview of meta-analyses. Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc 2022; 30:2639-2653. [PMID: 33666686 DOI: 10.1007/s00167-021-06472-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic overview was to identify, synthesise and critically appraise findings of meta-analyses on robot-assisted versus conventional unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The hypothesis was that robotic assistance would reduce complications and revision rates, yield better clinical scores, and improve component positioning and alignment. METHODS Two researchers independently conducted a literature search using Embase®, MEDLINE®, Web of Science, Allied and Complementary Medicine™ and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews on 2 November 2020 for meta-analyses (Level I-IV) on robotic assistance in UKA and/or TKA. Outcomes were tabulated and reported as weighted mean difference (WMD), risk ratio (RR) or weighted odds ratio (WOR), and were considered statistically significant when p < 0.05. RESULTS A total of ten meta-analyses were identified; four on robot-assisted UKA (n, 1880 robot-assisted vs. 2352 conventional UKA; follow-up, 0 to 60 months), seven on robot-assisted TKA (n, 4567 robot-assisted vs. 5966 conventional TKA; follow-up, 0 to 132 months). Of the meta-analyses on UKA, one found that robotic assistance reduced complication rates (relative risk (RR), 0.62), one found that it improved clinical scores (weighted mean difference (WMD), 19.67), three found that it extended operation times (WMD, 15.7 to 17.1 min), and three found that it improved component positioning and alignment (WMD, - 1.30 to - 3.02 degrees). Of the meta-analyses on TKA, two found that robotic assistance improved clinical scores (WMD, 1.62-1.71), two found that that it extended surgery times (WMD, 21.5-24.26 min), and five found that it improved component positioning and alignment (WMD, - 0.50 to - 10.07 degrees). None of the meta-analyses reported differences in survivorship between robot-assisted versus conventional knee arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Robot-assisted knee arthroplasty enabled more accurate component positioning and placement within target zones, but extended operation time considerably. Although robotic assistance improved component positioning, its benefits regarding clinical scores, patient satisfaction and implant survivorship remains to be confirmed. Finally, this overview revealed that six of the ten meta-analyses were of 'critically low quality', calling for caution when interpreting results. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition affecting the whole joint with the underlying bone, representing a major source of pain, disability, and socioeconomic cost worldwide. Age is considered the strongest risk factor, albeit abnormal biomechanics, morphology, congenital abnormality, deformity, malalignment, limb-length discrepancy, lifestyle, and injury may further increase the risk of the development and progression of osteoarthritis as well. Pain and loss of function are the main clinical features that lead to treatment. Although early manifestations of osteoarthritis are amenable to lifestyle modification, adequate pain management, and physical therapy, disease advancement frequently requires surgical treatment. The symptomatic progression of osteoarthritis with radiographical confirmation can be addressed either with arthroscopic interventions, (joint) preservation techniques, or bone fusion procedures, whereas (joint) replacement is preferentially reserved for severe and end-stage disease. The surgical treatment aims at alleviating pain and disability while restoring native biomechanics. Miscellaneous surgical techniques for addressing osteoarthritis exist. Advanced computer-integrated surgical concepts allow for patient personalization and optimization of surgical treatment. The scope of this article is to present an overview of the fundamentals of conventional surgical treatment options for osteoarthritis of the human skeleton, with emphasis on arthroscopy, preservation, arthrodesis, and replacement. Contemporary computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery concepts are further elucidated.

Revisiting Short-term Outcomes of Conventional and Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Population-based Study. J Am Acad Orthop Surg Glob Res Rev 2022; 6:01979360-202206000-00005. [PMID: 35696311 PMCID: PMC9191360 DOI: 10.5435/jaaosglobal-d-22-00089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Background: Population-based studies showing the advantage of computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CATKA) over conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are outdated. More recent institution-based studies with relatively small sample sizes may hinder wider adoption. This cohort-based study aimed to compare postoperative CATKA and TKA in-hospital complications and 90-day all-cause readmissions using 2017-2018 data. Methods: Patients who underwent a primary unilateral CATKA or TKA were identified in the New York Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database. In-hospital complications were defined based on the 2020 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services total hip arthroplasty and TKA complications measure. Ninety-day readmissions were identified using unique patient identifiers. Logistic regression with a generalized estimating equation was used to assess associations of computer assistance with in-hospital complications and 90-day all-cause readmissions. Results: A total of 80,468 TKAs were identified during the study period, of which 7,395 (9.2%) were CATKAs. Significantly fewer complications occurred among patients who had CATKAs compared with conventional TKAs (0.4% of total CATKAs vs 2.6% of total conventional TKAs, P < 0.001); patients who had CATKAs had fewer 90-day all-cause readmissions compared with those who underwent TKAs (363 vs 4,169 revisits, P < 0.01). Computer assistance was associated with significantly lower odds of in-hospital complications (odds ratio, 0.15, 95% confidence interval, 0.09 to 0.24; P < 0.05) but not 90-day all-cause readmissions. Conclusion: Patients undergoing CATKAs had markedly lower odds of in-hospital complications, compared with patients having TKAs, which has implications for both patient outcomes and hospital reimbursement. These more recent cohort-based findings encourage wider CATKA adoption.

Abstract
Background To study the biomechanical effects of femoral prostheses at different coronal positions using finite element analysis and provide a clinical reference for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Methods A normal knee joint model was established and verified, establishing 13 working conditions for the femoral prosthesis: the standard position, varus and valgus angles of 3°, 6° and 9° and medial and lateral translations of 1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm. The stress changes at different positions were analysed, including the polyethylene (PE) insert upper surface, the surface of lateral compartment cartilage and the surface of cancellous bone under tibial prosthesis. Results The stresses on the PE insert upper surface and the cancellous bone surface increased with increasing femoral prosthesis valgus/varus, and the stress increased gradually during medial to lateral translation. The stress change is more significant during valgus and lateral translation. However, the stress on the cartilage surface decreases in the process of varus to valgus and medial translation to lateral translation. Conclusion The fixed-bearing femoral prosthesis of the medial UKA should avoid translation or varus/valgus tilt on the coronal plane as much as possible. The obvious misalignment of the femoral prosthesis will significantly affect the stress on the internal structure of the knee joint, especially the PE insert and cartilage surface. A femoral prosthesis coronal tilt of more than 6° may significantly increase the stress on the PE surface, and varus of more than 6° may significantly increase the stress on the cartilage surface. For the femoral prosthesis position at the distal end of the femoral condyle, it is recommended to be placed in the centre.

Abstract
Objective To review and evaluate the research progress of the robot-assisted joint arthroplasty. Methods The domestic and foreign related research literature on robot-assisted joint arthroplasty was extensively consulted. The advantages, disadvantages, effectiveness, and future prospects were mainly reviewed and summarized. Results The widely recognized advantages of robot-assisted joint arthroplasty are digital and intelligent preoperative planning, accurate intraoperative prosthesis implantation, and quantitative soft tissue balance, as well as good postoperative imaging prosthesis position and alignment. However, the advantages of effectiveness are still controversial. The main disadvantages of robot-assisted joint arthroplasty are the high price of the robot system, the prolonged operation time, and the increased radioactive damage of the imaging-dependent system. Conclusion Compared to traditional arthroplasty, robot-assisted joint arthroplasty can improve the accuracy of the prosthesis position and assist in the quantitative assessment of soft tissue tension, and the repeatability rate is high. In the future, further research is needed to evaluate the clinical function and survival rate of the prosthesis, as well as to optimize the robot system.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to provide a simple, feasible and effective patient-to-image registration method for robot-assisted long bone osteotomy, which has rarely been systematically reported. The practical requirement is to meet the accuracy of 1 mm or even higher without bone-implanted markers. METHODS A hybrid feature-based registration method termed CR-RAMSICP is proposed. Point-based coarse registration (CR) is accomplished relying on the optical retro-reflective markers attached to the tracked rigid body fixed out of the bone. In surface-based fine registration, an improved iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm based on the range-adaptive matching strategy (termed RAMSICP) is presented to cope with the robust precise matching between the asymmetric patient and image point clouds, which avoids converging to a local minimum. RESULTS A series of registration experiments based on the isolated porcine iliums are carried out. The results illustrate that CR-RAMSICP not only significantly outperforms CR and CR-ICP in the accuracy and reproducibility, but also exhibits better robustness to the CR errors and less sensitiveness to the distribution and number of fiducial points located in the patient point cloud than CR-ICP. CONCLUSION The proposed registration method CR-RAMSICP can stably satisfy the desired registration accuracy without the use of bone-implanted markers like fiducial screws. Besides, the RAMSICP algorithm used in fine registration is convenient for programming because any complex metrics or models are not involved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have reported that medical robot-assisted method (RA) might be superior to conventional freehand method (FH) in orthopedic surgery. Yet the results are still controversial, especially in terms of femoral neck fractures surgery. Here, 2 methods were assessed based on current evidence. METHODS Electronic databases including Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science. and EMBASE were selected to retrieved to identify eligible studies between freehand and RAs in femoral neck fractures, with 2 reviewers independently reviewing included studies as well as collecting data. RESULTS A total of 5 studies with 331 patients were included. Results indicated that 2 surgical methods were equivalent in terms of surgical duration, Harris score, fracture healing time, fracture healing proportion and complications, while RA showed clinical benefits in radiation exposure, intraoperative bleeding, total drilling times, and screw parallelism. CONCLUSIONS Current literature revealed significantly difference between 2 techniques and suggested that RA might be beneficial for patients than freehand method.

Abstract
Recent advancements in computer-assisted surgery have led to a renewed interest in robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty. This technology assists with component position which is especially useful in prior trauma or dysplasia cases. We present a case of a surgical hip fusion conversion to total hip arthroplasty with the use of robotic-assisted technology. Enhanced preoperative planning with the ability to manipulate implant position before execution can be invaluable during complex procedures. Further research is warranted before revision cases using computerized navigation systems becomes more prevalent.

Abstract
Background Femoral neck fracture is a common type of hip fracture. Conventional surgical treatment aims at fixing the fracture site with screws and then gradually promoting bone healing. A robot-assisted orthopedic surgery system is computer technology applied to surgical treatment. Objective This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effect and prognostic value of percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation using robot-assisted positioning in patients with femoral neck fractures. Methods From July 2018 to September 2019, 42 cases of femoral neck fracture admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Luohe Medical College were randomly and averagely divided into control and study groups. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional percutaneous cannulated screw internal fixation, while the patients in the study group were treated with robot-assisted percutaneous cannulated screw fixation during surgical treatment. We compared the treatment conditions and results of the operation between the 2 groups. The Harris score was used to evaluate the treatment efficacy. The state of fracture healing was followed up and compared between the 2 groups. Results The duration of the operation was shorter, there was less fluoroscopy use, and there were fewer drilled holes in the study group than in the control group (all, P<.001). There was no statistical difference in the amount of intraoperative bleeding between the 2 groups (P=.33). The Harris score (P=.045) and number of excellent and good ratings (P=.01) were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group. The difference in the fracture healing rate between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (P=.23). The fracture healing duration of the study group was shorter than that of the control group (P=.001). Conclusions The use of robotic positioning aids in the treatment of femoral neck fractures with percutaneous cannulated screw fixation can effectively improve the efficiency of surgery, shorten the duration of surgery, and reduce the radiation damage to patients. Meanwhile, it improves postoperative treatment and recovery rates of the patients and shortens the fracture healing time.

Abstract
The long-term outcomes of osteosarcoma have improved; however, patients with metastases, recurrence or axial disease continue to have a poor prognosis. Computer navigation in surgery is becoming ever more commonplace, and the proposed advantages, including precision during surgery, is particularly applicable to the field of orthopaedic oncology and challenging areas such as the axial skeleton. Within this article, we provide an overview of the field of computer navigation and computer-assisted tumour surgery (CATS), in particular its relevance to the surgical management of osteosarcoma.

General first-order target registration error model considering a coordinate reference frame in an image-guided surgical system. Med Biol Eng Comput 2020; 58:2989-3002.

Abstract
Point-based rigid registration (PBRR) techniques are widely used in many aspects of image-guided surgery (IGS). Accurately estimating target registration error (TRE) statistics is of essential value for medical applications such as optically surgical tool-tip tracking and image registration. For example, knowing the TRE distribution statistics of surgical tool tip can help the surgeon make right decisions during surgery. In the meantime, the pose of a surgical tool is usually reported relative to a second rigid body whose local frame is called coordinate reference frame (CRF). In an n-ocular tracking system, fiducial localization error (FLE) should be considered inhomogeneous, that means FLE is different between fiducials, and anisotropic that indicates FLE is different in all directions. In this paper, we extend the TRE estimation algorithm relative to a CRF from homogeneous and anisotropic to heterogeneous FLE cases. Arbitrary weightings can be assumed in solving the registration problems in the proposed TRE estimation algorithm. Monte Carlo simulation results demonstrate the proposed algorithm's effectiveness for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous FLE distributions. The results are further compared with those using the other two algorithms. When FLE distribution is anisotropic and homogeneous, the proposed TRE estimation algorithm's performance is comparable with that of the first one. When FLE distribution is heterogeneous, proposed TRE estimation algorithm outperforms the other two classical algorithms in all test cases when ideal weighting scheme is adopted in solving two registrations. Possible clinical applications include the online estimation of surgical tool-tip tracking error with respect to a CRF in IGS. Graphical Abstract This paper provides the target registration error model considering a coordinate reference frame in surgical navigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Computer-assisted surgical navigation techniques have shown promise; however, currently popular systems have limitations. This paper presents the characterization and application of a binocular visual navigation technique in diaphyseal fracture reduction. METHODS A binocular visual tracker (MicronTracker) was introduced to reduce diaphyseal fractures. A transformation matrix was used to acquire the reduction parameters. A transverse diaphyseal fracture was used as a control group. RESULTS Precision tests were performed with the binocular system using a simulation femoral model with a transverse fracture 12 times. All residual deformations were compared and P < 0.01. CONCLUSIONS The binocular visual navigation technique produces good results with advantages of flexibility and high positional accuracy and shows promise. The MicronTracker might lead to further application in the remote navigation field.

Abstract
Computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) systems have become one of the most important and challenging types of system in clinical orthopedics, as they enable precise treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, employing modern clinical navigation systems and surgical tools. This paper brings a comprehensive review of recent trends and possibilities of CAOS systems. There are three types of the surgical planning systems, including: systems based on the volumetric images (computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound images), further systems utilize either 2D or 3D fluoroscopic images, and the last one utilizes the kinetic information about the joints and morphological information about the target bones. This complex review is focused on three fundamental aspects of CAOS systems: their essential components, types of CAOS systems, and mechanical tools used in CAOS systems. In this review, we also outline the possibilities for using ultrasound computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (UCAOS) systems as an alternative to conventionally used CAOS systems.
