计算机辅助骨科导航技术面临的主要问题

计算机辅助骨科导航技术近年来发展迅速,现已几乎涉及骨科所有领域,并取得初步成果。但由于此项技术的研发及应用尚处于起步阶段,目前面临以下主要问题:①无统一的技术标准,包括设备技术标准、手术操作规范和评价标准;②临床应用中尚存不少问题,如操作繁琐、手术时间延长以及易出现操作错误和错误信息反馈;③设备昂贵、技术尚待完善。了解其面临的问题有助于我们对这项技术的深入理解,并减少经济及临床应用上的风险,避免出现一拥而上的局面。

Major problems CAOS is facing

Rapid progress has been made in computer assisted orthopedic surgery (CAOS) in the last decade. It has been clinically used in nearly every domain of orthopedic surgery. Its clinical benefits are no longer questioned. Because of limitations of devices and technology, CAOS is now facing the following problems today: First, there have been no generally accepted standards for the equipment, operative procedures or evaluation of the results. Secondly, there have been many potential pitfalls due to incorrect use of the devices and incorrect navigational feedbacks. Thirdly, the devices are expensive and the techniques of CAOS are still faulty. To be aware of the problems helps us to understand the technology thoroughly and reduce financial losses and clinical risks in application. Orthopedists should not rush to apply this technology in their operation rooms with no regard of their particular conditions.
