WORKSHOPS

A5: Novel Technologies & Biomechanics

Several novel technologies have been introduced in CAOS in recent years. Some are based on new generations of sensors and devices, and some on synergistic approaches that combine CAOS with new advances in biological sciences and Biomechanics.

Apart from progress in surgical guidance techniques, Biomechanics and novel technologies lead to progress in surgery planning and evaluation. This workshop will address the following topics in two sessions of four presentations each:

Apart from progress in surgical guidance techniques, Biomechanics and novel technologies lead to progress in surgery planning and evaluation. This workshop will address the following topics in two sessions of four presentations each:

Novel technologies for surgical guidance

  1. Advances in position tracking
  2. Sensors and CAOS
  3. Small robots and intelligent devices for CAOS
  4. CAOS and tissue engineering

Biomechanics and Novel technologies for surgery planning and evaluation

  1. Innovative implants and process
  2. Devices and models
  3. CAOS and osteoporosis

The workshop will present a broader overview of the state of the art of each topic as well as the authors' own experience in the respective field. It will address the novel approaches in research and the applications in clinical practice.
