A multi‐modality tracking, navigation and calibration for a flexible robotic drill system for total hip arthroplasty

This paper presents a novel multi‐modality tracking and navigation system that provides a unique capability to guild a flexible drill tip inside the bone with accurate curved tunnelling.
