A surgical telemanipulator for femur shaft fracture reduction

We present a surgical telemanipulator system supporting long bone fracture reduction procedures. This paper gives an overview of the robotic system developed by our working group and describes a possible workflow for telemanipulated fracture reduction. The concepts enabling an intuitive control of the robot using a joystick with force feedback as input device are also described.
