Unicameral bone cyst in the pelvis: report of a case treated by placement of screws made from a composite of unsintered hydroxyapatite particles and poly--lactide

Rare Tumors, 2019
Unicameral bone cysts are fluid-filled benign lesions that occur mostly in the long bones. Unicameral bone cysts in the pelvis are extremely rare. Continuous decompression using titanium or hydroxyapatite screws has been reported as a treatment.

Visual Attention Based Cognitive Human-Robot Collaboration for Pedicle Screw Placement in Robot-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery [PDF]

Current orthopedic robotic systems largely focus on navigation, aiding surgeons in positioning a guiding tube but still requiring manual drilling and screw placement. The automation of this task not only demands high precision and safety due to the intricate physical interactions between the surgical tool and bone but also poses significant risks when ...
