The Role of Intraoperative Navigation in Surgical Treatment of Unilateral Zygomatic Complex Fractures: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg

Purpose: The application of a computer-aided navigation system (CANS) in zygomatic complex (ZMC) fractures has been extensively reported, but individual results are heterogeneous. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the role of CANS in the surgical treatment of unilateral ZMC fractures.

Methods: Electronic retrieval of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL) and manual searching until November 1, 2022 were used to identify cohort studies and randomized controlled trials employing CANS in the surgical treatment of ZMC fractures.

Background: Achieving appropriate alignment of components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is essential for optimal functional outcomes as well as implant longevity. Performing TKA in the absence of a computer-assisted navigation system (CANS) mandates the use of accurate anatomical landmarks for achieving appropriate alignment. In this study, we have evaluated the reliability of 'mid-sulcus line' as an anatomical landmark to guide tibial resection, with the intra-operative help of CANS.

Efficacy of surgical navigation in zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures: randomized controlled trial.

Accurate reduction is of vital importance in the treatment of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. Computer-assisted navigation systems (CANS) have been employed in ZMC fractures to improve the accuracy of surgical reduction. However, randomized controlled trials on this subject are rare and the benefits of CANS remain controversial.

Article Synopsis
  • Robotic-assisted and computer-assisted navigation (CAN) systems are increasingly being adopted in spinal surgeries, especially for the cervical spine, which presents unique anatomical challenges with the potential for significant benefits.
  • This review discusses early experiences and technical details of using CAN and robotic-assisted surgery for procedures like cervical screw fixation and decompression, covering aspects such as surgical setup, screw accuracy, and case examples.
  • While several robotic spine systems have received FDA clearance, their current use requires intraoperative imaging for verification; however, this requirement may change as technology advances and accuracy improves.

Introduction: Acetabular cup malposition is very common in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and is significantly associated with many serious postoperative complications, such as dislocation, wear and loosening, and decreased range of motion. To improve the accuracy of intraoperative assessment, we recently developed an innovative sensor-based navigation system (Force-PRO device) using an inertial measurement unit and a 3D-printed liner for acetabular cup measurement, and aimed to evaluate its reliability and correlate its accuracy with that of a computer-assisted navigation system (CANS).

Design: Method-comparison study between the Force-PRO device and a standard CANS in a 1:1 pelvic bone model.
