No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The Investigators have developed a camera based drill guidance system to improve the accuracy of surgical drilling. The aim of the study is to assess:

Accuracy in vivo Safety Acceptability of use amongst surgeons and theatre staff

Conditions

  • Orthopaedic Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Drill Guidance System (DGS)

During a standard surgical procedure where a drill/k wire is being inserted the surgeon may choose (in advance) to supplement their drilling with use of the Drill Guidance System. This will be a supplement to normal practice. it is anticipated it will make surgery more accurate, swifter and safer. If however the surgeon is not finding the DGS useful it can be abandoned and standard drilling with X-ray guidance used
