Abstract
The combination of robotics and medical imaging may soon provide ortho paedic surgeons with a tool that significantly increases the precision of cementless total hip replacement operations and directly links pre operative planning with surgical execution. Twenty-six successful robo t-assisted operations have been performed on dogs and the first clinic al trials on human patients have recently taken place.
