Orthopaedic Surgery

Navigation vs. manual procedure

Navigation systems in the operating room: Higher precision and shorter learning curves.

They have become an indispensable part of making our way through traffic and also conducting procedures in the operating room – navigation systems. In the operating room, they facilitate surgeons' access to anatomical structures and they deliver valuable data simultaneously in real time. Many medical disciplines are benefiting from computer-navigated surgery. Particularly in orthopaedic and neurosurgical procedures, physicians make use of this technical support. And no wonder: These surgical fields demand the highest degree of precision.
