Summary
Hybrid operating rooms enhance orthopaedic trauma surgery safety and efficacy. Advanced imaging and navigation in these hybrid ORs confirmed implant placement, reducing complications and eliminating the need for postoperative CT scans.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedic Surgery
- Medical Technology
- Trauma Care
Background:
- Hybrid operating rooms (ORs) integrate advanced imaging and navigation, proving beneficial in various surgical fields.
- Limited data exists on their application in orthopaedic trauma surgery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a hybrid OR for orthopaedic trauma cases.
- To assess setup times and complication rates in a hybrid OR environment.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective analysis of 92 orthopaedic trauma cases performed in a hybrid OR over one year.
- Inclusion of all consecutive cases performed during the study period.
- Recording and analysis of setup times and surgical complications.
Main Results:
- The hybrid OR demonstrated no increased complication rate compared to conventional ORs for similar cases.
- Enhanced surgeon confidence in implant placement, particularly for complex spine and pelvis fractures.
- 3D imaging confirmed reduction and implant positioning intraoperatively, negating the need for postoperative CT scans.
Conclusions:
- Hybrid ORs are a safe and effective tool for orthopaedic trauma surgery.
- They offer significant advantages for minimally invasive and conventional spine and pelvis procedures.
- Intraoperative 3D imaging in hybrid ORs improves surgical accuracy and patient management.
