Investigating the performance of a wrist stabilization device for image-guided percutaneous scaphoid fixation
Conventional navigated surgery relies on placement of a reference marker on the anatomy of interest. However, placement of such a marker is not readily feasible in small anatomic regions such as the scaphoid bone of the wrist. This study aimed to develop an alternative mechanism for patient tracking that could be used to perform navigated percutaneous scaphoid fixation.
