Abstract:
Recently imageless navigation systems have been developed rapidly, and have become major navigation system in clinic. It comprises computer workstation, infrared optical localizing system, foot control pedal and navigation software. Currently, imageless navigation systems have been used successfully in total knee arthroplasty, uni-compartment arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, hip surfacing arthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and peri-articular osteotomy of knee, etc. The first OrthoPilot imageless navigation system was used by Saragaglia et al in total knee arthroplasty in January 1997, and many clinical studies have been conducted. The clinical results show that this kind of systems greatly improves operative accuracy, and reduce cases beyond ideal range. It shows accuracy as CT-based navigation systems, and they can be commonly used as standard navigation systems in clinic.
