Introduction: A novel hand-held navigation combines gyroscopes, accelerometers and a secure local wireless channel to guide the distal femoral and proximal tibial cutting positions by displaying to the surgeon directly on the pods within the surgical field. No previous study has reported on its accuracy.
Materials And Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed to compare radiographic outcomes in minimally invasive surgery total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) with (40 patients, 40 knees) and without (40 patients, 40 knees) the novel hand-held navigation.
Results: The use of hand-held navigation resulted in fewer outliers (> ± 3° malalignment) in all frontal alignment: the hip-knee-ankle, the femoral component, and the tibial component. Tibial slope was also better achieved with the navigation. Femoral component flexion was not significantly different. Operation time and bone cutting time with the navigation were not longer than those without. Blood loss from drainage was not significantly different.
Conclusion: The hand-held navigation improves accuracy for mechanical alignment and positioning of the prosthesis without additional surgical time.

Background: Telementoring studies found technical challenges in achieving accurate and stable annotations during live surgery using commercially available telestration software intraoperatively. To address the gap, a wireless handheld telestration device was developed to facilitate dynamic user interaction with live video streams.
Objective: This study aims to find the perceived usability, ergonomics, and educational value of a first-generation handheld wireless telestration platform.

Background: Achieving adequate alignment has traditionally been an important goal in total knee arthroplasty to achieve long-term implant survival. While accelerometer-based hand-held navigation systems (ABN) has been introduced as a way to achieve alignment, there is a limited body of evidence on its accuracy, especially in patients under 65 years with differing etiologies for knee arthritis. This study aimed to assess the precision of a specific ABN system in restoring the mechanical axis and report surgical variables and complications, with particular attention to younger patients.

While the availability of low-cost micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers initially seemed to promise the possibility of using them to easily track the position and orientation of virtually any object that they could be attached to, this promise has not yet been fulfilled. Navigation-grade accelerometers and gyroscopes have long been the basis for tracking ships and aircraft, but the signals from low-cost MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes are still orders of magnitude poorer in quality (e.g.

Background And Objective: With the urgent demands for rapid and precise localization of pulmonary nodules in procedures such as transthoracic puncture biopsy and thoracoscopic surgery, many surgical navigation and robotic systems are applied in the clinical practice of thoracic operation. However, current available positioning methods have certain limitations, including high radiation exposure, large errors from respiratory, complicated and time-consuming procedures, etc. METHODS: To address these issues, a preoperative computed tomography (CT) image-guided robotic system for transthoracic puncture was proposed in this study.
