Augmented Reality-based Feedback for Technician-in-the-loop C-arm Repositioning [PDF]
Interventional C-arm imaging is crucial to percutaneous orthopedic procedures as it enables the surgeon to monitor the progress of surgery on the anatomy level. Minimally invasive interventions require repeated acquisition of X-ray images from different anatomical views to verify tool placement.

Pelphix: Surgical Phase Recognition from X-ray Images in Percutaneous Pelvic Fixation [PDF]
Surgical phase recognition (SPR) is a crucial element in the digital transformation of the modern operating theater. While SPR based on video sources is well-established, incorporation of interventional X-ray sequences has not yet been explored. This paper presents Pelphix, a first approach to SPR for X-ray-guided percutaneous pelvic fracture fixation,

Universal Hydrogel Carrier Enhances Bone Graft Success: Preclinical and Clinical Evaluation
TX hydrogel improves the delivery of different types of particulate bone grafts, maintaining them at the implantation sites, and resulting in favorable bone regenerative outcomes. Abstract Orthopedic, maxillofacial, and complex dentoalveolar bone grafting procedures that require donor‐site bone harvesting can be associated with post‐surgical ...

Rotator cuff tears, a common musculotendinous injury, often lead to permanent functional disability. A novel hyaluronic acid‐based hydrogel shows promise in promoting muscle regeneration after rotator cuff repair. The hydrogel reduces fibrosis, fatty infiltration, and muscle atrophy while supporting vascularization in a murine model.

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery
What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

Closing the Calibration Loop: An Inside-out-tracking Paradigm for Augmented Reality in Orthopedic Surgery [PDF]
In percutaneous orthopedic interventions the surgeon attempts to reduce and fixate fractures in bony structures. The complexity of these interventions arises when the surgeon performs the challenging task of navigating surgical tools percutaneously only under the guidance of 2D interventional X-ray imaging. Moreover, the intra-operatively acquired data
