Keeping up with rapid advancements in orthopaedics requires collaboration among engineers, researchers, and clinical staff. This event will enable all delegates to learn from each other's experiences, ultimately leading to better informed engineering design and subsequently improved patient outcomes.

Invasive surgeries can result in complications, longer recovery times, and increased healthcare costs. By integrating augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR), surgeons can precisely plan procedures, minimizing tissue damage. AR overlays patient-specific data onto the surgical field, guiding incisions, and reducing invasiveness, leading to improved surgical outcomes and patient recovery.  This seminar will showcase the current application areas for these tools and the ongoing challenges engineers face in developing equipment and routes to precision in orthopaedic surgery.

How will I benefit?

Join this event to:

  • Review of current state of the art engineering in surgical precision and safety in orthopaedics
  • Hear an overview of recent engineering successes and current limitations when producing tools to enhance precision in orthopaedic surgery
  • Explore advanced engineering solutions such as sensors, VR and robotics
  • Learn about innovative approaches and technologies for minimizing tissue damage and reducing invasiveness during orthopaedic surgeries, leading to shorter recovery times and improved patient satisfaction
