Novel 3D hexapod computer‐assisted orthopaedic surgery system for closed diaphyseal fracture reduction

Long‐bone fractures are very common in trauma centers. The conventional Arbeitsgemeindschaft fur Osteosynthesefragen (AO) technique contributes to most fracture healing problems, and external fixation technology also has several disadvantages, so new techniques are being explored.
