Abstract:
In recent years, with the rapid development of computer and robotic technology, surgical robots have been applied more widely in the field of orthopedics. Compared to traditional surgery, surgical robots utilize advanced navigation systems, high-precision mechanical arms, and automated surgical planning systems to achieve high precision, minimal invasiveness, and low risk in minimally invasive orthopaedic surgeries. The complex anatomy, critical injury severity, and high surgical risks associated with pelvic fractures make the application of surgical robots in minimally invasive pelvic fracture surgery particularly advantageous. However, unlike spine and joint surgical robots that only require navigation and positioning functions, fracture surgery involves two steps: reduction and fixation. The reduction process needs to solve the problems such as the coupling relationship between the fracture ends, the safety of soft tissue pulling, and the rigid control of the fragments, so the research and development process of fracture surgical robot is full of challenges. This article discusses the application status of surgical robot in pelvic fractures, and prospects its future direction, which would provide reference for promoting the scientific research and industrial development of orthopedic robot.
