A feasibility cadaver study for placing screws in various pelvic osseous fracture pathways using a robotic arm

ConclusionIn this feasibility study, surgeons were able to place screws into the clinically relevant fracture pathways of the pelvis using ExcelsiusGPS® for robotic-assisted surgery. The measured accuracy was encouraging; however, further investigation is needed to demonstrate that robotic-assisted surgery can be used to successfully place the screws in the bony corridors of the pelvis to treat traumatic pelvic injuries.
