As robotic systems become more autonomous, it gets less straightforward to determine
liability when humans are harmed. This is an emerging challenge, with legal implications, in …

To overcome the physical limitations of mechanical bone cutting in minimally invasive
surgery, we are developing a miniature parallel robot that enables positioning of a pulsed …

Pedicle screws are used in spinal fusion for the stabilisation of the spine through a posterior
approach. In spinal deformities, such as scoliosis, pedicle screw placement is especially …

Study Design. Retrospective analysis on prospectively collected data. Objective. The aim of
this study was to construct a clinical prediction model for 90-day mortality in elderly patients …
