A hand-eye robotic model for total knee replacement surgery

Med Image Comput Comput Assist Interv. 2005;8(Pt 2):122-30. doi: 10.1007/11566489_16.

Abstract

This paper presents a hand-eye robotic model for total knee replacement (TKR) surgery. Unlike existent robot assisted TKR surgery, the proposed model is a surgical robot that combines with a movable hand-eye navigation system, which would use the full potential of both computer-assisted systems. Without using CT images and landmark pins in the patient's bones, it can directly measure the mechanical axis with high precision. This system provides a new approach of the minimally invasive surgery. Experiment results show that the proposed model is promising in the future application.
