The pelvis is a complex structure that encompasses numerous nerves, blood vessels, and organs, all tightly encased in soft tissue. Consequently, high-energy injuries to the pelvic ring that result in fractures are among the most complex and challenging surgical cases in clinical practice, with poor prognoses. What is more, the unique surgical risks, alongside each patient's specific anatomical and clinical attributes, pose great challenges. Over 63% of patients experience persistent pain post-surgery, 28% suffer from sensory and motor abnormalities, and 32% are unable to return to their pre-injury occupations.
In recent years, the ongoing integration of new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and mixed reality, into orthopedics has offered innovative perspectives for the advancement of orthopedic surgeries. These technologies aim to enhance surgical accuracy, improve patient outcomes, and establish new procedural standards. Importantly, the integration of genomics and patient-specific data is beginning to play a crucial role in tailoring surgeries to individual patient characteristics, thereby optimizing the efficacy of interventions based on a patient’s genetic makeup and specific health profile.
This research initiative seeks to pioneer and explore the integration of digital and intelligent technology to revolutionize minimally invasive treatments for pelvis and hip fractures, with a strong focus on customization and precision. The objective encompasses not only improving surgical outcomes but also significantly enhancing recovery processes by leveraging advanced technologies. Specific areas of focus for this topic will include:
• AI-based surgical planning personalized to patient profiles.
• New methods for pelvis/hip reduction and internal fixation using navigation, robotics, and augmented reality
• Innovative patient-specific minimally invasive surgical approaches and techniques for pelvis/hip treatment
• New digital standards for minimally invasive treatment of pelvis/hip fractures
• Case reports highlighting the application of these advanced technologies in personalized treatment for pelvis and hip fractures.
