Abstract
Computer assisted orthopaedic surgery is a new but rapidly evolving fi eld. Based on previous research and development in the area of stereot actic neuronavigation a few groups have adapted these technologies for the image interactive insertion of pedicle screws. The present paper summarizes past and current work in the field of computer assisted ort hopaedic surgery and describes the state of the art of research and fu ture innovations, particularly in in vivo applications.
