A Novel Approach of using AR and Smart Surgical Glasses Supported Trauma Care

BACKGROUND: Augmented reality (AR) is gaining popularity in varying field such as computer gaming and medical education fields. However, still few of applications in real surgeries. Orthopedic surgical applications are currently limited and underdeveloped. - METHODS: The clinic validation was prepared with the currently available AR equipment and software. A total of 1 Vertebroplasty, 2 ORIF Pelvis fracture, 1 ORIF with PFN for Proximal Femoral Fracture, 1 CRIF for distal radius fracture and 2 ORIF for Tibia Fracture cases were performed with fluoroscopy combined with AR smart surgical glasses system. - RESULTS: A total of 1 Vertebroplasty, 2 ORIF Pelvis fracture, 1 ORIF with PFN for Proximal Femoral Fracture, 1 CRIF for distal radius fracture and 2 ORIF for Tibia Fracture cases are performed to evaluate the benefits of AR surgery. Among the AR surgeries, surgeons wear the smart surgical are lot reduce of eyes of turns to focus on the monitors. This paper shows the potential ability of augmented reality technology for trauma surgery.
