B1: Introduction to CAOS for clinicians new to the activity

The goal of this workshop is to present to clinicians in simple terms the basic technical concepts of CAOS and their current use in clinical orthopaedic procedures. Technical concepts include visualization, segmentation, and modeling of anatomical structures from preoperative CT images, computer-based preoperative planning, real-time tracking, imaging, and registration for intraoperative navigation, and robot-assisted intraoperative execution. Computer-based procedures include total hip and total knee replacement, spinal procedures, ACL reconstruction, and fracture reduction and fixation, among others.
