Miniature hexapods in spinal surgery

A miniature, high precision hexapod with 6 DOF is used as guidance assistance for spinal surgery. The bone-mounted system, named SpineAssist, will accurately guide the surgeon for maximized precision when placing implants destined to stabilize spinal (vertebrae) fusions in both open and minimally invasive surgery. A part from the miniature hexapod robot, the system also consists of a preoperative planning software with automatic fluoroscopic and CT image processing and a set of rigid bone fixation clamps and platforms.
