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.
