Orthopedic Surgical Navigation Systems- Help Improve Clinical Outcomes of Surgical Orthopedic Procedures

| Orthopedic Surgical Navigation Systems |
Orthopedic surgical navigation systems are
vital component of computer-aided surgery (CAS). The system allows surgeons to
perform pre-operative planning and precise surgical navigation of instruments
during orthopedic procedure. Development of orthopedic surgical navigation
systems aims to analyze pre-, intra- and postoperative data in multiple
modalities and provide 3D visualization environment to improve clinical
outcomes. Navigation in orthopedic surgery is like navigation in a car: the
orthopedic surgeon plans a target position for the implants.
Orthopedic surgeries deal with health
conditions and diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system, including
bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and nerves.
Orthopedic Surgical navigation systems is the next generation of
orthopedic surgery technology. Designed to add precision navigation to current
surgical procedures, orthopedic surgical navigation systems can be integrated
into any planning and guidance software. The navigation system is one of the
most powerful tools for the surgeon in orthopedic surgery.
Orthopedic surgical navigation systems
allows surgeons to precisely track instrument positions and then project the
instrument position onto pre-operative imaging data. Orthopedic surgical
navigation systems were initially used in orthopedic spinal surgery more than a
decade ago to improve efficiency of pedicle screw insertion. Since then, it has
gained widespread recognition, and has become an important tool for certain
orthopedic procedures. Thus, with the increasing number of orthopedic
procedure, the use of navigation system is also increasing.
In January 2020, in Japan, Naviswiss
received regulatory approval for its smart hip navigation system which gives
orthopedic surgeons additional safety when implanting artificial hip joints.
Moreover, Naviswiss provides miniaturized navigation systems to aid orthopedic
surgeons in accurately implanting artificial joints. Orthopedic navigation entails
four essential steps; direct visualization, intra-operative tracking,
patient-to-model registration, and pre-operative data collection and processing.
However, post-operative validation is also crucial.

Thus, the need for the development of a
novel orthopedic navigation system has increased, and this in turn is expected
to increase demand for orthopedic navigation systems.
