Advances in the Study and Application of Robotic Navigation Technology in Pedicle Screw Fixation

Abstract

Objective: To review and evaluate the technical advantages, disadvantages and research progress of robotic navigation technology in pedicle screw fixation. Methods: An extensive review of domestic and international literature on robotic navigation technology in pedicle screw fixation was conducted to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of this technology and its clinical application, as well as to provide an outlook on its future development. Results: Robotic nailing has the advantages of improved accuracy, reduced intraoperative radiation and minimally invasive surgery compared to freehand nailing. However, as the application of robotic navigation technology is still in its infancy, there are disadvantages in terms of low coverage, high cost, unstable accuracy and long operative time. Conclusion: The application of robotic navigation technology in pedicle screw fixation is a combined solution that requires not only the improvement of robotic shortcomings, but also a good surgical foundation, strict control of the surgical indications and rational selection of the surgical approach in order to adequately ensure the effectiveness and safety of the procedure.
