Summary
New technologies like robotics and 3D printing enhance surgical accuracy for pelvic fractures. While promising for complex injuries, these innovations require further development before routine clinical use.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Medical Technology Innovation
Background:
- Pelvic fracture management is evolving with new technologies.
- Existing data on these technologies are often fragmented and limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review emerging technologies for pelvic and acetabular fracture surgery.
- To analyze their benefits, limitations, and future potential.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search of Medline, Central, and Embase databases.
- Adherence to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol.
- Inclusion of 115 studies from 841 reviewed records.
Main Results:
- Robotics, navigation, patient-specific solutions, and 3D printing are key emerging technologies.
- These advancements show potential for improved surgical accuracy in pelvic injury management.
- No increase in complications was observed with these novel approaches.
Conclusions:
- New technologies offer significant promise for managing complex pelvic and acetabular fractures.
- Further refinement is necessary for widespread adoption into standard surgical practice.
