With the maturity and development of orthopaedic navigation robot technology, more and more orthopaedic surgeries are completed with the assistance of robots. We all know that intraoperative 3D C-arm images play a very important role in robotic surgery and are an integral part of it, so how do 3D C-arms and orthopedic navigation robots work together? The three coordinates are automatically associated. The alignment process requires no human intervention and accuracy is not affected by image quality.

Perlove Medical is an innovative force in intraoperative imaging, and its self-developed and manufactured 3D C-arm has a larger imaging field of view and clearer imaging quality, providing a boost to the accuracy and safety of clinical procedures.

3D C-arm system with orthopedic navigation robot

Case Information

Hospital: Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital

Patient: Male, 45 years old

Procedure: T2, T4 pedicle screw internal fixation with the assistance of orthopedic navigation robot (spinal tumor separation surgery)

Implants: 4 hollow screws

Due to the complex anatomical constraints of the spine, spine surgery requires a high degree of accuracy. 3D imaging data is often the gateway to precise surgery, allowing surgeons to implement surgical planning and multimodal data alignment based on real-time intraoperative imaging data.

Taking the arch nail internal fixation as an example, the 3D C-arm with the orthopedic navigation robot system can make the treatment process visualized and three-dimensional; assist the robot navigation system in real-time and precise surgical planning and execution, and can verify the surgical effect instantly during the operation. It effectively shortens the operation time and reduces the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Intraoperative Applications

The Perlove Medical 3D C-arm is used intraoperatively to take 2D pictures to confirm the preparation of the surgical site and the orthopaedic navigation robot system, etc. The large 30cm x 30cm plate provides an excellent display field to better visualize the global situation of the surgical site. Intraoperative 3D scanning and imaging provides 3D spatial coordinates for the orthopaedic navigation robot system, ensuring accurate surgical planning and execution.

The 3D C-arm and the orthopedic navigation robot were used together during the operation to achieve accurate positioning and ensure the safe and efficient completion of the operation. The postoperative 2D and 3D images showed good surgical results and achieved the expected goal.

Perlove Medical's 3D C-arm provided high-quality intraoperative real-time 3D image data, which guaranteed the accuracy and safety of the orthopedic navigation robot surgery and achieved good surgical results. At the same time, the unique tomographic imaging of the 3D C-arm helps the surgeon to judge the accuracy of screw implantation very visually intraoperatively.
