Abstract Summary

Robot-assisted surgery shows promise for femoral neck fractures. A study of 50 patients found TiRobot-assisted screw fixation reduced operative time, blood loss, and fluoroscopy use compared to traditional freehand techniques. Patients experienced better hip function scores, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery, though surgical costs were higher.

Why Brain? 🧠

Robot-assisted screw fixation for femoral neck fractures improves surgical precision, reduces operative time and blood loss, and enhances recovery compared to freehand technique, despite higher costs.
