BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 2024 Oct 15;25(1):814. doi: 10.1186/s12891-024-07944-7.

Abstract

This collection focuses on Navigation Surgery, we aim to explore the intersection of cutting-edge technology and musculoskeletal surgery. It covers recent advancements, challenges, and future directions in navigational techniques. Navigation devices reconstruct 3D surgical information on monitors, aiding in safer and more accurate operations across orthopedic surgeons. While beneficial, there are risks like misplaced implants, necessitating careful navigation usage. The collection encourages discussions on clinical applications and the ongoing evolution of navigation surgeries.

Keywords: Benefit; Musculoskeletal surgery; Navigation surgery; Pitfall.
