About this Research Topic
The goal of this Research Topic is to provide readers, researchers, and surgeons a comprehensive overview of the state of the art and future perspectives of robot-assisted orthopedic surgery. In particular, the Research Topic aims to focus on the existing developments and future directions in the field of orthopedic surgery robotics. We aim to present novel surgical skills, methods, and experiences to improve robot-assisted orthopedic surgery, and to discuss its impact, especially in the field of intraoperative navigation, intraoperative positioning, training, and assistive techniques.
With this collection, we wish to advance the insights in orthopaedic surgical robots and gather clinically feasible solutions in these various aspects to minimize surgical trauma and facilitate clinical adoption. We welcome Original Article, Review, and Novel Technique notes with Case Series.
We welcome submissions on the following topics, but are not limited to:
- Advances and differences between robot-assisted orthopaedic surgery and traditional orthopaedic surgery
- Orthopaedic surgery robotics: safety and efficacy
- Orthopaedic surgery robotics: training for surgical techniques
- Intraoperative navigation
- Rehabilitation and assistive technologies after orthopedic surgeries
Keywords: robot-assisted surgery, orthopaedic surgery, intraoperative navigation, surgical robot, robot surgery
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
