Description
This is a comprehensive review of the rapidly emerging computer-assisted technologies that are starting to fundamentally influence the way that we design, plan, simulate and carry out orthopedic surgery. This well-illustrated volume provides an overview of the state-of-the-art of the development of CAOS, and its clinical applications. Topics covered range from basic concepts to planning, simulation and execution of surgery in different anatomical areas, including the spine, hip and knee. Various surgical techniques, such as joint reconstruction and replacement, trauma fixation, and minimally invasive approaches are also presented.

Content
The basics: visualization and image processing of medical image data; concepts and methods of registration of computer integrated surgery; robotics in orthopaedic surgery; CT image-based planning and execution of interventions in orthopaedic surgery using individual templates - experimental results and aspects of clinical applications; man/machine interfaces in computer augmented surgery; a computer-based system for assistance to surgery. The spine: concept and clinical aspects of computer assisted spine surgery; frameless stereotactic guidance of cervical spine lateral mass screw placement; computer assisted pedicle screw insertion - first clinical experience; AO compass - computer assisted surgery system; on minimally invasive lumbosacral spinal stabilization. The hip: an integrated approach to acetabular osteotomies; clinical experience with a medical robotic system for total hip replacement; HipNav - preoperative planning and introperative navigational guidance for acetabular implant placement in total hip replacement surgery; CT-based tool visualization and application of planning parameters during pelvic osteotomy; interactive single-step frameless freehand navigation in iliosacral screw fixation of sacral fractures and fracture dislocations. The knee: computer assisted knee measurement and surgical planning - application to prosthetic ligament insertion; robotic knee arthroplasty; computer templating and robotics bone machining for a total knee arthroplasty; computer assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; computer assisted knee anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - first clinical tests. Related topics: stereotactic integrated contouring of orthopaedic implants; fluoroscopy-based surgical navigation - concept and possible clinical applications; integration of a mechatronic drilling tool in a computer aided orthopaedic system; man-machine interfaces in computer assisted surgery;computer assisted planning, simulation and intraoperative guidance in orthopaedic surgery.
