Abstract:
Precision medicine using computer navigation assisted technology fully demonstrates its abilities in the field of bone tumor surgery. Such techniques help surgeons improve their preoperative plans and make precision partial tumor resection more feasible. Compared with traditional surgery, it boasts lower rate of tumor recurrence, more accurate bony structure reconstruction and better limb function recovery, therefore of great clinical significance in bone tumor surgery. This paper is a review of literature on application of computer navigation assisted techniques in bone tumor surgery over the past 20 years. Based on personal experience from clinical practice, the clinical significance of such techniques and existing limitations are also discussed. It is expected to serve as a reference for further development of computer navigation assisted techniques in the future.
