Comparison of free-hand fluoroscopic guidance and electromagnetic navigation in distal locking of femoral intramedullary nails
BACKGROUND Although the method has been used widely, one of the greatest challenges for intramedullary nailing is to position the distal locking screw. A new technology, the electromagnetic navigation system, is a radiation-free way to locate the position of the drill bit and provide 3-dimensional real-time feedback of location and orientation of the drill bit relative to the locking holes. The...
متن کاملA robot-assisted system for long bone intramedullary distal locking: concept and preliminary results
This paper presents a new robot-based system to assist orthopaedic surgeons in performing distal intramedullary locking in femoral and tibial fracture reduction. The system consists of a miniature bone-mounted robot fitted with a drill guide that provides mechanical guidance for manual drilling of the distal screws’ pilot holes. The drill guide and the nail’s distal locking holes axes are autom...
متن کاملIs a Magnetic-Manual Targeting Device an Appealing Alternative for Distal Locking of Tibial Intramedullary Nails?
BACKGROUND In order to enable a radiation-free, accurate and simple positioning of distal locking screws, a combined magnetic and manual targeting system has been developed by Sanatmetal®. Where a low-frequency magnetic field is initially used to detect the position of the first drill hole and three more holes can be found with a mechanical template. OBJECTIVES Our cadaver study was performed...
متن کاملA Computer Assisted Orthopaedic System for Distal Locking of Intramedullary Nails
The CAOS system aims to assist the orthopaedic surgeon in performing intramedullary nail locking, through the introduction of suitable technology into the operating theatre environment. The system comprises three components, the Smart Image Intensifier, Trajectory Tactician and Intelligent Drill Guide. The Trajectory Tactician is tailored to the requirements of intramedullary nail locking. The ...
متن کاملRadiation-free Insertion of Distal Interlocking Screw in Tibial and Femur Nailing: A Simple Technique
BACKGROUND Distal interlocking screw insertion in intramedullary nailing of long-bone fracture is a challenging task for orthopedic surgeons. It is difficult particularly when the surgeon is in his learning stage or when image intensifier is not available. We describe a radiation-free technique of distal interlocking screw insertion which is easy and practicable. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this...
