Abstract
We could show that robot-assisted fracture reduction is possible, yielding good accuracies and a conspicuous reduction of X-ray irradiation. However, we also show the limitations regarding reposition accuracies of telemanipulated fracture reduction when it is based on 2D X-ray imaging only. From the combination of 3D imaging, automated computation of the reduction parameters, and automated force/torque guided reduction by the robot we expect to overcome these limitations in our future work.
