Abstract
Purpose The tibial anatomical anteroposterior (AP) axis "Akagi's line" was originally defined on computed tomography (CT) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, its intraoperative reproducibility remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the intraoperative reproducibility of the Akagi's line and its effect on postoperative clinical outcomes. Methods This prospective study included 171 TKAs. The rotational angle of the intraoperative Akagi's line relative to the original Akagi's line (RAA) defined on CT was measured. The RAA was calculated based on the tibial component rotational angles relative to the intraoperative Akagi's line measured using the navigation system and CT. The effects of RAA on postoperative clinical outcomes and rotational alignments of components were also evaluated. Results The mean absolute RAA (standard deviation) value was 5.5° (3.9°). The range of RAA was 22° internal rotation to 16° external rotation. Intraoperative Akagi's line outliers (RAA > 10°) were observed in 14% of the knees (24 knees). In outlier analysis, the tibial component rotation angle was externally rotated 6.5° (5.6°) in the outlier group and externally rotated 3.7° (4.2°) in the nonoutlier group (≤10°), with a significant difference between the two groups. Additionally, the outlier group (RAA > 10°) showed lower postoperative clinical outcomes. Conclusion The original Akagi's line defined on CT showed insufficient reproducibility intraoperatively. The poor intraoperative detection of Akagi's line could be the reason for the tibial component rotational error and worse postoperative clinical outcomes. Level of Evidence Level IV, case series.

Abstract
In trauma settings, including the management of outcomes, there is no consensus on the most appropriate reconstructive method in the presence of severe bone loss of the proximal humerus. The objective of this report is to evaluate the short-term functional outcomes of two patients in whom reverse shoulder megaprosthesis was used to treat the failure of trauma surgery with severe bone loss. The secondary objective was to compare the results obtained with the literature regarding the use of megaprosthesis in shoulder trauma surgery. The patients showed a satisfying functional recovery and increased quality of life. At the 12-month follow-up, no complications occurred. Regarding the risk of complications, especially the risks of mobilization of the megaprosthesis, the CT-based intraoperative navigation system optimizes the configuration of the screw for the initial fixation of the glenoid component. Shoulder megaprosthesis appears to be a viable option not only in oncologic surgery but also in cases of failed trauma surgery. The functional results, considering functional score and range of motion, are encouraging and allow patients to improve their quality of life.

Abstract
Background Inaccurate positioning of the glenoid component has been well described as the most common cause of early failure following a reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). Among the latest developments in operative technique, three-dimensional preoperative planning and navigation intraoperative systems have been developed to improve the accuracy of the baseplate positioning during RSA. The primary purpose of this retrospective analysis was to investigate the mid-term results of patients who underwent an elective RSA or for acute highly comminuted proximal humerus fractures. The secondary goal was to investigate the role of navigation in the execution of preoperative planning, especially in the management of glenoid bone loss. Methodology In total, 101 cases were included in this study. Patients were divided into the following two groups: 88 cases of RSA performed without the use of navigation (conventional RSA) and 13 cases performed using intraoperative navigation (navigated RSA). For all patients included in the study, preoperative planning software was employed. Patient demographics, gender, past medical history, indication of procedure, operated site, type of glenoid component used, length of baseplate screws, and clinical assessment scores (Oxford Shoulder Score, OSS) were reported for all patients. Cases of revision shoulder arthroplasty were excluded from this study. Results The postoperative clinical assessment of patients revealed that following RSA, all patients improved significantly with a consistently upward trend of the OSS noted for both groups (conventional and navigated RSA) throughout the postoperative assessment. Despite no statistically significant difference detected, the clinical scores of the navigated RSA group outperformed those of the conventional RSA group in the postoperative period. A higher incidence of augmented baseplate use was noted in the navigated RSA group than in the conventional group (23.07% vs. 5.68%, p < 0.001). Conclusions Our results indicate that the use of intraoperative navigation appears to be a valuable tool in preoperative planning, providing accurate positioning of the baseplate, a better understanding of the glenoid anatomy, and real-time monitoring of the length and direction of the baseplate screws. It is difficult to conclude if the use of navigation leads to superior clinical outcomes, and the cost-effectiveness of its use needs to be further analyzed. Prospective randomized trials are required to assess the cost-effectiveness of routine use of navigation in RSA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative navigation allows for the creation of a real-time relationship between the anatomy imagined during diagnosis/planning and the site of surgical interest. This procedure takes place by identifying and registering trustworthy anatomical markers on planning images and using a point locator during the operation. The locator is calibrated in the workspace by placing a Dynamic Reference Frame (DRF) sensor. OBJECTIVE This study aims to calculate the localization accuracy of an electromagnetic locator of neuro-maxillofacial surgery, moving the standard sensor position to a different position more suitable for maxillofacial surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS The upper dental arch was chosen as an alternative fixed point for the positioning of the sensor. The prototype of a bite support device was designed and generated via 3D printing. CT images of a skull phantom with 10 anatomical landmarks were acquired. The testing procedure consisted of 10 measurements for each position of the sensor: precisely 10 measurements with the sensor placed on the forehead and 10 measurements with the sensor placed on the bite support device. It also evaluated the localization error by comparing the two procedures. RESULTS The localization error, when the sensor was placed on the bite support device, was lower in the sphere located on the temporal bone. It was the same in the spheres located on the maxillary bone. The test analysis of the data of the new device showed that it is reliable; the tests are reproducible and can be considered as accurate as the traditional ones. In addition, the sensor mounted on this device has proven to be slightly superior in terms of accuracy and accuracy in areas such as the middle third of the face and jaw. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The realization of the bite support device allowed the sensor to change position concerning its natural site. This procedure allows us to explore structures, such as the frontal site, which were initially difficult to approach with neuronavigation and improves the approach to midface structures, already studied with neuronavigation. The new calibration, with the position of the sensor on the support device in the same reference points sphere, highlighted the reduction in the location error. We can say that the support proposed in this study lays the foundations for a new navigation approach for patients in maxillofacial surgery, by changing the position of the sensor. It has strong points in improving the localization error for some reference points without determining disadvantages both in the calibration and in the surgical impediment.

Abstract
Meteorological conditions significantly affect air traffic safety and can also affect a pre-planned flight plan. Difficult meteorological conditions are particularly hazardous during take-off and landing procedures. Still, they can also cause disruptions to air traffic by causing, for example, delays to air traffic or diversion of aircraft to other airports. From the airlines' point of view, such situations are not beneficial if flights are diverted to other airports due to reduced visibility at the airport caused by fog and haze. For flight operations, a popular navigation system with a precision approach is the ILS, which has several categories enabling an approach even in adverse meteorological conditions. However, not every airport has a high-category ILS, and setting up such navigation equipment is lengthy and costly. The main objective of this article is to analyze the impact of meteorological conditions, particularly visibility, on the possibility of performing flight procedures with different ILS categories. The study was designed to quantify the limitations associated with meteorological conditions with specific ILS equipment at a given airport. The research questions for this study include the following: What were the meteorological conditions in terms of visibility? What impact did the visibility parameter have on the performance of landing operations at the airport under study? Can an indication of the probability of stopping landing operations be important in recommendations for scheduling airline flights to avoid delays? Three airports were selected for the analysis: Warsaw Chopin Airport, Warsaw Modlin Mazowiecki Airport, and Krakow John Paul II Airport. The analysis was based on approximately 52,000 METAR dispatches in 2019 and 2022. The research indicated during which periods landing procedures were most frequently halted and calculated such a change with a different category of ILS. For the Kraków Airport, the probability of stopping landing procedures in any month was calculated, along with recommendations for flight schedule planning for this airport. The research results can be used to better plan airline flight schedules, avoiding hours with a high probability of reduced visibility, which may result in rerouting flights to another airport. Long-term low clouds and reduced visibility affect the safety of operations but also cause delays.

Abstract
Anterior decompression and fusion (ADF) using the floating method for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is an ideal surgical technique, but it has a specific risk of insufficient decompression caused by the impingement of residual ossification. Augmented reality (AR) support is a novel technology that enables the superimposition of images onto the view of a surgical field. AR technology was applied to ADF for cervical OPLL to facilitate intraoperative anatomical orientation and OPLL identification. In total, 14 patients with cervical OPLL underwent ADF with microscopic AR support. The outline of the OPLL and the bilateral vertebral arteries was marked after intraoperative CT, and the reconstructed 3D image data were transferred and linked to the microscope. The AR microscopic view enabled us to visualize the ossification outline, which could not be seen directly in the surgical field, and allowed sufficient decompression of the ossification. Neurological disturbances were improved in all patients. No cases of serious complications, such as major intraoperative bleeding or reoperation due to the postoperative impingement of the floating OPLL, were registered. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the introduction of microscopic AR into ADF using the floating method for cervical OPLL with favorable clinical results.

Abstract
In endoscopic transsphenoidal skull base surgery, knowledge of tumor location on imaging and the anatomic structures is required simultaneously. However, it is often difficult to accurately reconstruct the endoscopic vision of the surgical field from the pre-surgical radiographic images because the lesion remarkably displaces the geography of normal anatomic structures. We created a precise three-dimensional computer graphic model from preoperative radiographic data that was then superimposed on a visual image of the actual surgical field and displayed on a video monitor during endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. We evaluated the efficacy of this augmented reality (AR) navigation system in 15 consecutive patients with sellar and parasellar tumors. The average score overall was 4.7 [95% confidence interval: 4.58-4.82], which indicates that the AR navigation system was as useful as or more useful than conventional navigation in certain patients. In two patients, AR navigation was assessed as less useful than conventional navigation because perception of the depth of the lesion was more difficult. The developed system was more useful than conventional navigation for facilitating an immediate three-dimensional understanding of the lesion and surrounding structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in-vitro study compared the accuracy of implant placement using static versus dynamic computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) at two implant sites. METHODS Partially edentulous maxillary models were 3D-printed, and two implants (Straumann TL RN4.1 × 10mm) were inserted in FDI positions 15 and 16 per model using two CAIS approaches (10 models per approach). A three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction tool was used for implant planning, surgical guide design, and measuring implant positioning accuracy. In static CAIS, the implants were placed with 3D-printed surgical guides (n=20); in dynamic CAIS, real-time navigation was performed (n=20). Primary outcomes were defined as coronal and apical global deviation as well as angular deviations and deviation comparison between implants placed at positions 15 and 16; the secondary outcome was the bi-directional deviation in mesial-distal, buccal-palatal, and apical-coronal direction. RESULTS The mean±SD 3D-deviation at implant platform and apex levels for static CAIS in position 15 was 0.81±0.31mm, 1.41±0.37mm, and in position 16 was 0.67±0.31mm, 1.07±0.32mm. PRIMARY OUTCOMES buccal-palatal deviation is higher using static CAIS, and mesial-distal deviation is higher in dynamic CAIS. In position 15, mesial-distal deviation at the apex and the platform were lower in static approaches than in dynamic ones. In implant position 16, buccal-palatal deviation at the apex was lower in the dynamic group than with static ones. SECONDARY OUTCOMES for bi-directional analysis, buccal-palatal deviation at the platform (P=0.0028) and mesial-distal deviation at the apex (P=0.0056) were significantly lower in molar sites using static CAIS. Mesial-distal deviation at the apex (P=0.0246) revealed significantly lower values in position 16 following dynamic CAIS. CONCLUSIONS Both static and dynamic CAIS resulted in accurate implant placement. However, dynamic CAIS exhibited higher deviation in the mesial direction in an in-vitro setting. In addition, the implant site affects the accuracy of both CAIS approaches. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Static CAIS demonstrates the highest accuracy for guided implant placement today.

Abstract
We report a case of ipsilateral periprosthetic fractures above and below the knee that occurred at different times due to navigation tracker pin and bone fragility. A 66-year-old Japanese woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) underwent a total knee arthroplasty. Four months post-surgery, a periprosthetic fracture above the knee at the navigation pin hole was detected. She underwent osteosynthesis and could walk independently, but she developed an ipsilateral tibial component fracture. Conservative treatment with a splint was followed by bone union. Patients with RA treated with oral steroids tend to develop ipsilateral periprosthetic fractures around the knee due to bone fragility.

Abstract
Purpose Multiple studies have attempted to demonstrate the benefits of augmented reality (AR)-assisted navigation systems in surgery. Lumbosacral transforaminal epidural injection is an effective treatment commonly used in patients with radiculopathy due to spinal degenerative pathologies. However, few studies have applied AR-assisted navigation systems to this procedure. The study aimed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of an AR-assisted navigation system for transforaminal epidural injection. Patients and Methods Through a real-time tracking system and a wireless network to the head-mounted display, computed tomography images of the spine and the path of a spinal needle to the target were visualized on a torso phantom with respiration movements installed. From L1/L2 to L5/S1, needle insertions were performed using an AR-assisted system on the left side of the phantom, and the conventional method was performed on the right side. Results The procedure duration was approximately three times shorter, and the number of radiographs required was reduced in the experimental group compared to the control group. The distance from the needle tips to the target areas in the plan showed no significant difference between the two groups. (AR group 1.7 ± 2.3mm, control group 3.2 ± 2.8mm, P value 0.067). Conclusion An AR-assisted navigation system may be used to reduce the time required for spinal interventions and ensure the safety of patients and physicians in view of radiation exposure. Further studies are essential to apply AR-assisted navigation systems to spine interventions.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the learning curve and accuracy of implant placement by young professionals using a dynamic computer-assisted surgical system for dental implant placement. Ten students tried to place eight implants with a dynamic surgical system in predefined positions on two consecutive weekends, resulting in 160 implant placements in total. Postoperatively, the positions of the implants were scanned with an intraoral scanner and compared for deviations at the entry point, the apex, as well as angular deviations to the master model. The mean values of all measurements improved; statistical significance was found for the changes in the angle as well as for the position of the implants to the apex (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the young professionals indicated subjective improvement in handling the dynamic surgery system. Navigated surgical dental implant placement can be learned quickly and can support young professionals in everyday clinical practice, especially in difficult anatomic situations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast the accuracy of endodontic access cavities created using an augmented reality appliance to those performed using the conventional technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS 60 single-rooted anterior teeth were chosen for study and randomly divided between two study groups: Group A-endodontic access cavities created using an augmented reality appliance as a guide (n = 30) (AR); and Group B-endodontic access cavities performed with the manual (freehand) technique (n = 30) (MN). A 3D implant planning software was used to plan the endodontic access cavities for the AR group, with a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D intraoral surface scan taken preoperatively and subsequently transferred to the augmented reality device. A second CBCT scan was taken after performing the endodontic access cavities to compare the planned and performed endodontic access for accuracy. Therapeutic planning software and Student's t-test were used to analyze the cavities at the apical, coronal, and angular levels. The repeatability and reproducibility of the digital measurement technique were analyzed using Gage R&R statistical analysis. RESULTS The paired t-test found statistically significant differences between the study groups at the coronal (p = 0.0029) and apical (p = 0.0063) levels; no statistically significant differences were found between the AR and MN groups at the angular (p = 0.6596) level. CONCLUSIONS Augmented reality devices enable the safer and more accurate performance of endodontic access cavities when compared with the conventional freehand technique.

Abstract
New applications are continuously appearing with drones as protagonists, but all of them share an essential critical maneuver—landing. New application requirements have led the study of novel landing strategies, in which vision systems have played and continue to play a key role. Generally, the new applications use the control and navigation systems embedded in the aircraft. However, the internal dynamics of these systems, initially focused on other tasks such as the smoothing trajectories between different waypoints, can trigger undesired behaviors. In this paper, we propose a landing system based on monocular vision and navigation information to estimate the helipad global position. In addition, the global estimation system includes a position error correction module by cylinder space transformation and a filtering system with a sliding window. To conclude, the landing system is evaluated with three quality metrics, showing how the proposed correction system together with stationary filtering improves the raw landing system.

Abstract
The requirement to estimate the six degree-of-freedom pose of a moving platform frequently arises in automation applications. It is common to estimate platform pose by the fusion of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) measurements and translational acceleration and rotational rate measurements from an inertial measurement unit (IMU). This paper considers a specific situation where two GNSS receivers and one IMU are used and gives the full formulation of a Kalman filter-based estimator to do this. A limitation in using this sensor set is the difficulty of obtaining accurate estimates of the degree of freedom corresponding to rotation about the line passing through the two GNSS receiver antenna centres. The GNSS-aided IMU formulation is extended to incorporate LiDAR measurements in both known and unknown environments to stabilise this degree of freedom. The performance of the pose estimator is established by comparing expected LiDAR range measurements with actual range measurements. Distributions of the terrain point-to-model error are shown to improve from 0.27m mean error to 0.06m when the GNSS-aided IMU estimator is augmented with LiDAR measurements. This precision is marginally degraded to 0.14m when the pose estimator is operated in an a prior unknown environment.

Abstract
The objective of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the accuracy of zygomatic dental implant (ZI) placement carried out using a dynamic navigation system. Materials and Methods: Forty (40) ZIs were randomly distributed into one of two study groups: (A) ZI placement via a computer-aided dynamic navigation system (n = 20) (navigation implant (NI)); and (B) ZI placement using a conventional free-hand technique (n = 20) (free-hand implant (FHI)). A cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of the existing situation was performed preoperatively to plan the surgical approach for the computer-aided study group. Four zygomatic dental implants were placed in anatomically based polyurethane models (n = 10) manufactured by stereolithography, and a postoperative CBCT scan was performed. Subsequently, the preoperative planning and postoperative CBCT scans were added to dental implant software to analyze the coronal entry point, apical end point, and angular deviations. Results were analyzed using the Student’s t-test. Results: The results showed statistically significant differences in the apical end-point deviations between FHI and NI (p = 0.0018); however, no statistically significant differences were shown in the coronal entry point (p = 0.2617) or in the angular deviations (p = 0.3132). Furthermore, ZIs placed in the posterior region showed more deviations than the anterior region at the coronal entry point, apical end point, and angular level. Conclusions: The conventional free-hand technique enabled more accurate placement of ZIs than the computer-assisted surgical technique. In addition, placement of ZIs in the anterior region was more accurate than that in the posterior region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Head and neck photoimmunotherapy specifically destroys tumor cells by irradiating them with 690 nm red light after administering cetuximab sarotalocan sodium. The key point in the technique of photoimmunotherapy is to set the irradiation area precisely with a margin added to the target lesion while securing a safety zone with large vessels such as the internal carotid artery. CASE REPORT At our Institution, we performed photoimmunotherapy in combination with use of a navigation system on a male patient in his 70s with maxillary gingival carcinoma who had a recurrent lesion deep in the lateral pterygoid muscle. Three months after photoimmunotherapy, the superficial lesion had disappeared, the area of contrast within the lateral pterygoid muscle had improved, and the patient was deemed to have a complete response. CONCLUSION The Navigation System was successfully used in combination with photoimmunotherapy. Additionally, this allowed the location of the internal carotid artery to be confirmed in real time.

Abstract
Frameless stereotactic brain biopsy (FSB) with navigation system has been widely used. We reported preliminary experience of FSB with intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) and examined the usefulness of this novel adjuvant technique and real target registration error (rTRE) of FSB. The FSB with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) and iCT was performed on 10 patients. The gadolinium-enhanced lesions on magnetic resonance image were defined as the biopsy target. In the procedure, iCTs were scanned twice, for autoregistration of the navigation system and for confirmation of the position of the actual inserted biopsy needle. The red fluorescence of the samples was observed under excitation with violet-blue light through a low-cut filter of neurosurgical microscope. The distance between the planned target and the tip of the biopsy needle in the image of iCT was calculated in a workstation for the assessment of rTRE. The median volume of the target was 12.13 mL (0.06-39.15 mL). We performed the surgical procedure in a prone position in four patients. None to faint 5-ALA-induced fluorescence was observed in six samples. There existed no sampling errors. The mean target distance between the planned and real targets of the mean rTRE of FSB was 2.7 ± 0.56 mm.The real TRE of FSB was first reported and was larger than the reported rTRE exactly calculated from the fiducial registration error. iCT guarantees accurate tumor sampling with autoregistration regardless of the surgical position and prevents inaccurate biopsy to occur even with ALA fluorescence assistance.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new paradigm that connects objects to provide seamless communication and contextual information to anyone, anywhere, at any time (AAA). These Internet-of-Things-enabled automated objects interact with visitors to present a variety of information during museum navigation and exploration. In this article, a smart navigation and information system (SNIS) prototype for museum navigation and exploration is developed, which delivers an interactive and more exciting museum exploration experience based on the visitor’s personal presence. The objects inside a museum share the information that assist and navigate the visitors about the different sections and objects of the museum. The system was deployed inside Chakdara Museum and experimented with 381 users to achieve the results. For results, different users marked the proposed system in terms of parameters such as interesting, reality, ease of use, satisfaction, usefulness, and user friendly. Of these 381 users, 201 marked the system as most interesting, 138 marked most realistic, 121 marked it as easy-in-use, 219 marked it useful, and 210 marked it as user friendly. These statistics prove the efficiency of SNIS and its usefulness in smart cultural heritage, including smart museums, exhibitions and cultural sites.

Abstract
Objective Midface reconstruction is challenging for functional and esthetic reasons. The present study analyzed the effect of virtual surgical planning (VSP) of the deep circumflex iliac artery (DCIA) flap for midface reconstruction. Patients and Methods Thirty-four patients who underwent midface reconstruction with the DCIA flap were included in this retrospective study. Of the 34 patients, 16 underwent preoperative VSP, which used a three-dimensionally printed surgical guide, computer-assisted navigation system, and pre-bent titanium implants to transfer VSP into real-world surgery. The other 18 patients underwent traditional midface reconstruction. The following were compared between the two groups: bony contact rate in the buttress region (BCR), dental arch reconstruction rate (DAR), surgical approach, position of vascular anastomosis, and dental implantation rate. The independent-samples t-test and Fisher's exact test were used for analysis. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results In total, 12 males and 22 females were included in this study. All patients underwent midface reconstruction using the DCIA flap at the same institution. The median age of patients was 33 years (range: 16-68 years). The average BCR and DAR values in the VSP group were 59.4% ± 27.9% and 87.5% ± 18.9%, respectively, which were significantly higher compared with the non-VSP group (P = 0.049 and P = 0.004, respectively). The dental implantation rate in the VSP group (50.0%) was significantly higher compared with the non-VSP group (11.1%; P = 0.023). The intraoral approach for tumor ablation and vascular anastomosis was the most frequent choice in both groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups. All patients were satisfied with facial symmetry postoperatively. Conclusions VSP could effectively augment the effect of midface reconstruction with the DCIA flap. Stronger bone contact in the buttress region and higher DAR provide more opportunity for dental implantation, which might be the best solution to improve masticatory function in patients with midface defects.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the Virtually Enhanced Senses (VES) system, a novel and highly configurable wireless sensor-actuator network conceived as a development and test-bench platform of navigation systems adapted for blind and visually impaired people. It allows to immerse its users into “walkable” purely virtual or mixed environments with simulated sensors and validate navigation system designs prior to prototype development. The haptic, acoustic, and proprioceptive feedback supports state-of-art sensory substitution devices (SSD). In this regard, three SSD were integrated in VES as examples, including the well-known “The vOICe”. Additionally, the data throughput, latency and packet loss of the wireless communication can be controlled to observe its impact in the provided spatial knowledge and resulting mobility and orientation performance. Finally, the system has been validated by testing a combination of two previous visual-acoustic and visual-haptic sensory substitution schemas with 23 normal-sighted subjects. The recorded data includes the output of a “gaze-tracking” utility adapted for SSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accuracies of various navigation systems in total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been described; however, the accuracy of cup orientation with an accelerometer-based navigation system has not been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracies of computed tomography (CT)- and accelerometer-based navigation systems for cup orientation in THA. METHODS In this prospective study, 30 patients who underwent cementless THA via anterolateral approach in the lateral decubitus position were analysed. A CT-based navigation system (30 hips) and an accelerometer-based navigation system (30 hips) were used simultaneously. The accuracy of cup orientation (absolute difference between intraoperative vs. postoperative measurements) was compared between the navigation systems using postoperative CT. RESULTS The accuracy of cup inclination was 3.2 ± 2.4° in the CT-based navigation group and 4.1 ± 3.7° in the accelerometer-based navigation group (p = 0.3035). The accuracy of cup anteversion was 3.0° ± 2.5° in the CT-based navigation group and 6.8° ± 4.8° in the accelerometer-based navigation group. Cup anteversion was significantly more accurate with the CT-based navigation system than with accelerometer-based navigation (p = 0.0009). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the malposition in cup anteversion was positively correlated with the change in pelvic tilt and loosening of the reference antenna. CONCLUSIONS Although, these results are only true for this specific accelerometer system, cup positioning was significantly more accurate with the CT-based navigation system than an accelerometer-based navigation in the lateral decubitus position. This is because of considerable discrepancies in the sagittal pelvic tilt, resulting in variability in cup anteversion angle with the use of an accelerometer-based navigation system.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to assess the efficacy of a computed tomography (CT)-Navigation™ electromagnetic system compared to conventional CT methods for percutaneous lung biopsies (PLB). In this single-center retrospective study, data of a CT-Navigation™ system guided PLB (NAV-group) and conventional CT PLB (CT-group) performed between January 2017 and February 2020 were reviewed. The primary endpoint was the diagnostic success. Secondary endpoints were technical success, total procedure duration, number of CT acquisitions and the dose length product (DLP) during step ∆1 (from planning to initial needle placement), step ∆2 (progression to target), and the entire intervention (from planning to final control) and complications. Additional parameters were recorded, such as the lesion’s size and trajectory angles. Sixty patients were included in each group. The lesions median size and median values of the two trajectory angles were significantly lower (20 vs. 29.5 mm, p = 0.006) and higher in the NAV-group (15.5° and 10° vs. 6° and 1°; p < 0.01), respectively. Technical and diagnostic success rates were similar in both groups, respectively 95% and 93.3% in the NAV-group, and 93.3% and 91.6% in the CT-group. There was no significant difference in total procedure duration (p = 0.487) and total number of CT acquisitions (p = 0.066), but the DLP was significantly lower in the NAV-group (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in complication rate. For PLB, CT-Navigation™ system is efficient and safe as compared to the conventional CT method.

Abstract
Despite the globally ascertained success of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) procedure, 20% of patients are still unsatisfied with the surgery results. The purpose of the study is to identify the functional and radiological outcomes of the computer-assisted (CAS) TKA compared to the conventional technique. The clinical databases and medical records of both clinical sites were retrospectively analyzed, and then according to study time-lapse, inclusion, and exclusion criteria, eligible patients were retrieved and included. A total of 42 patients that underwent to CAS TKA (NAVI) and 61 patients that underwent to Conventional TKA (CONV) were included. The NAVI group reported a statistically significant higher surgical time. A lower intraoperative blood loss was found in the computer-assisted group, though this difference was not statistically significant. Implant survival analysis at two years did not show differences between groups during the follow-up period. At two years, follow-up postoperative intergroup analysis showed no statistically significant difference between groups. According to the radiologic analysis, the NAVI group showed comparable outcomes to the conventional group. The present study showed that there was no clinical and radiological difference between CAS arthroplasty and conventional technique.

Abstract
Simple Summary Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. In recent years, numerous technologies have been used to perform image-guided percutaneous thermal ablation, mainly including radiofrequency ablation, microwave ablation, and cryoablation. These image-guided ablation techniques have emerged as a safe, cost-effective, minimally invasive treatment alternative for patients who do not require surgery. Procedural planning, monitoring, and lesion targeting are generally performed with the help of computed tomography; navigation systems are emerging as valid tool to reduce procedural time and radiation dose administration. In the present paper, we investigate the efficacy of an optical-based navigation system (SIRIO) to perform lung thermal ablation. SIRIO proved to be a reliable and effective tool when performing CT-guided LTA, displaying a significant decrease in the number of required CT scans, procedure time, and radiation doses administered to patients. Abstract (1) Background: The aim of this retrospective study is to assess safety and efficacy of lung radiofrequency (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) using an augmented reality computed tomography (CT) navigation system (SIRIO) and to compare it with the standard CT-guided technique. (2) Methods: Lung RFA and MWA were performed with an augmented reality CT 3D navigation system (SIRIO) in 52 patients. A comparison was then performed with a group of 49 patients undergoing the standard CT-guided technique. All the procedures were divided into four groups based on the lesion diameter (>2 cm or ≤2 cm), and procedural time, the number of CT scans, radiation dose administered, and complications rate were evaluated. Technical success was defined as the presence of a “ground glass” area completely covering the target lesion at the immediate post-procedural CT. (3) Results: Full technical success was achieved in all treated malignant lesions for all the considered groups. SIRIO-guided lung thermo-ablations (LTA) displayed a significant decrease in the number of CT scans, procedure time, and patients’ radiation exposure (p < 0.001). This also resulted in a dosage reduction in hypnotics and opioids administrated for sedation during LTA. No significant differences were observed between the SIRIO and non-SIRIO group in terms of complications incidence. (4) Conclusions: SIRIO is an efficient tool to perform CT-guided LTA, displaying a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in the number of required CT scans, procedure time, and patients’ radiation exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To improve the accuracy of tibial cut during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), navigation-assisted UKA has been implemented. It has been reported that inexperienced surgeons who use a navigation system achieve better alignment than experienced surgeons who do not use a navigation system. However, there have been no reports comparing the alignments and clinical outcomes of navigation-assisted UKA performed by experienced surgeons in comparison with that by inexperienced surgeons. This study aims to compare these parameters of navigation-assisted UKA performed by experienced and inexperienced surgeons. METHODS A total of 209 UKA procedures using an image-free navigation system were included. One experienced surgeon performed 128 UKAs (E group), and six inexperienced surgeons performed 81 UKAs (I group). The target value in the coronal tibial plane was set at 2.0° in varus. Prosthetic alignments and clinical results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS No significant differences were found between the two groups for prosthetic alignments and clinical outcomes, except for range of motion. The operation time of the I group was statistically longer than that of the E group (P < .001). The ratio of tibial prosthetic fracture was significantly higher in the I group than that in the E group (P = .022). CONCLUSION Using a navigation system during UKA, inexperienced surgeons achieved accurate alignments and excellent clinical results similar to an experienced surgeon. However, tibial periprosthetic fractures occurred more often in patients of inexperienced surgeons. Even when using a navigation system, inexperienced surgeons need to demonstrate careful and cautious surgical techniques.

Abstract
The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine the effect of computer-aided navigation techniques on the accuracy of endodontic access cavities. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of clinical studies, based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations, was performed that evaluated the root canal location rate of computer-aided navigation techniques applied to endodontic access cavities. Four different databases were used to consult the literature: PubMed-Medline, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Science. After discarding duplicate articles and applying inclusion criteria, 14 articles were selected for qualitative analysis and 13 for quantitative analysis. RESULTS the root canal location success rate started at 98.1% (CI: 95.7-100%) of the cases performed through a computer-aided navigation technique. The prediction interval ranged from 93.3% to 100%. The meta-analysis did not detect heterogeneity between the combined studies (Q-test = 17.3; p = 0.185; I2 = 25%). No statistically significant differences were found between computer-aided static navigation techniques (success rate: 98.5%) and computer-aided dynamic navigation techniques (success rate: 94.5%) (Q test = 0.57; p = 0.451), nor between in vitro studies (success rate: 96.2%) and in vivo studies (success rate: 100%) (Q test = 2.53; p-value = 0.112). An odds success ratio of 13.1 (CI: 95%; 3.48, 49.1) encourages the use of computer-aided navigation techniques over conventional endodontic access cavity procedures. CONCLUSIONS the endodontic access cavities created using static and dynamic computer-aided navigation techniques are highly accurate in locating the root canal system.

METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed in order to identify patients who underwent computer-aided rhinoplasty from August 2014 to February 2017. Inclusion criteria were nasal bone deformities on computed-tomography (CT) that correlated with specific nasal complaints. All patients underwent computer-aided rhinoplasty with navigation-guided nasal osteotomies using a standard navigation system. Osteotomies were performed using real-time visualization on the navigation screen. Additional soft tissue procedures were performed as needed. Medical records were reviewed for presenting symptoms, radiologic and operative findings, and postoperative course. Cosmetic outcomes were subjectively based on patients' standard 6-view photo-documentation from pre- and post-operative timepoints. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included in the study; 8 were revision cases and 3 had mild-to-moderate hemifacial microsomia. Fifteen were completely closed procedures. No cases were opened because of inadequate visualization or difficulty accessing bony pathology. Mean (range) follow up was 98.6 (6-559) days. There were no intra-operative complications, unplanned admissions or re-admissions, or iatrogenic cosmetic complications (ie, "inverted V" or "saddle nose" deformities). Two patients required revision. One was after suffering nasal trauma within 4 weeks of initial rhinoplasty. The second underwent further correction of a deformity that required a costochondral graft. Both experienced good final results. CONCLUSIONS Computer-aided rhinoplasty is safe and feasible for treating complex nasal deformities using standard navigation systems.

Abstract
To improve the personalized service of cultural tourism, anticipatory calculation has become an essential technology in the content design of intelligence navigation system. Culture tourism, as a form of leisure activity, is being favored by an increasing number of people, which calls for further improvements in the cultural consumption experience. An important component of cultural tourism is for tourists to experience intangible cultural heritage projects with local characteristics. However, from the perspective of user needs and the content adaptive system, there are few suitable intelligent navigation and user demand anticipatory systems for intangible cultural heritage content. Purple clay culture is one of the first batches of national intangible cultural heritage protection projects in China. Therefore, taking purple clay culture exhibition as an example, this paper attempts to analyze the personalized information demand of tourism consumption experience in intangible cultural heritage communication activities with affective computing and meaning-driven innovative design method, by taking the content design in the navigation system as the research object. This paper uses the theory of planned behavior to calculate the relationship between tourists’ attitude, experience behavior, and display information demand. The findings indicate two issues. First, tourists’ demand for the entertainment and leisure attributes of intangible cultural heritage is greater than the demand for educational function attributes. Second, the meaning elements of information can change tourists’ beliefs in intangible cultural heritage and affect their attitude and behavior toward such heritage. According to the research results, strengthening the meaning elements of specific group information can improve people’s cultural identity and tourism satisfaction. The research results provide the basis for the content design direction of future museum intelligent navigation systems.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between soft tissue laxity and kinematics of the normal knee using a navigation system. METHODS Fifteen cadaveric knees from 11 fresh frozen whole-body specimens were included in this study. The navigation system automatically recorded the rotation angle of the tibia as the internal-external (IE) kinematics and the coronal alignment of the lower limb as the varus-valgus (VV) kinematics. These measurements were made with the joint in maximal extension, at 10° intervals from 0° to 120° of flexion, and at maximal flexion during passive knee motion. For evaluation of laxity, the examiner gently applied maximum manual IE and VV stress to the knee at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of flexion. RESULTS The measurements showed almost perfect reliability. The mean correlation coefficient between the intraoperative tibial rotation angle and the intermediate angle of IE laxity was 0.82, while that between the coronal alignment of the lower limb and the intermediate angle of the VV laxity was 0.96. There was a statistically significant correlation between kinematics and laxity at all degrees of knee flexion. CONCLUSION The present study revealed that the rotation angle of the tibia was correlated to the intermediate angle of IE laxity at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° of knee flexion and the coronal alignment of the lower limb also correlated to the intermediate angle of VV laxity. These findings provide important reference data on soft tissue laxity and kinematics of the normal knee.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unsafe surgical care has emerged as a significant public health concern, motivated by a high percentage of major complications happening during surgery, attributed to surgeons' skills and experience, and determined to be preventable. METHODS This article presents APSurg, an Abdominal Positioning Surgical system designed to improve awareness and safety during laparoscopic surgery. The proposed system behaves like a GPS, offering an additional dynamic virtual reality view of the surgical field. RESULTS This work presents an evaluation study in terms of accuracy, effectiveness, and usability. Tests were conducted performing a localization task on an abdomen phantom in a simulated scenario. Results show a navigation accuracy below 5 mm. The task execution time was reduced by a 15% and the performed incision dimension was reduced by a 46%, with respect to a standard setup. A custom questionnaire showed a significant positive impact in exploiting APSurg during the surgical task execution.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the accuracy of two computer-aided navigation techniques to guide the performance of endodontic access cavities compared with the conventional access procedure. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 single-rooted anterior teeth were selected, which were randomly distributed into three study groups: Group A—guided performance of endodontic access cavities through computer-aided static navigation system (n = 10) (SN); Group B—guided performance of endodontic access cavities through computer-aided dynamic navigation system (n = 10) (DN); and Group C—manual (freehand) performance of endodontic access cavities (n = 10) (MN). The endodontic access cavities of the SN group were performed with a stereolithography template designed on 3D implant planning software, based on preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a 3D extraoral surface scan, and endodontic access cavities of the DN group were planned and performed by the dynamic navigation system. After endodontic access cavities were performed, a second CBCT was done, and the degree of accuracy between the planned and performed endodontic access cavities was analyzed using therapeutic planning software and Student’s t-test. Results: Paired t-test revealed no statistically significant differences between SN and DN at the coronal (p = 0.6542), apical (p = 0.9144), or angular (p = 0.0724) level; however, statistically significant differences were observed between the two computer-aided navigation techniques and the MN group at the coronal (p < 0.0001), apical (p < 0.0001), and angular (p < 0.0001) level. Conclusion: Both computer-aided static and dynamic navigation procedures allowed accurate performance of endodontic access cavities.

Abstract
RATIONALE In surgery of the lower jaw, the application of computer-assisted navigation is complicated and challenging due to the mobile nature of the mandible. In this study, we presented a computer-assisted navigation surgery for removal of the foreign body in the lower jaw with a mandible reference frame, basing on the strategy that the mandible is independent as an entity. PATIENT CONCERNS A 41-year-old male patient, identified as having a broken fissure bur that displaced into the mandibular lingual soft tissue, was referred to our department. The fissure bur broke accidentally and then displaced into the soft tissue when the patient underwent extraction of the left mandibular impacted third molar. DIAGNOSIS A metallic foreign body in the left lower jaw, confirmed by orthopantomography. INTERVENTIONS A computer-assisted navigation surgery with a customized mandible reference frame. OUTCOMES The broken bur was removed successfully. Satisfactory wound healing and mouth opening was achieved, without postoperative complications. LESSONS Surgeons should be alert to the presence of broken bur in the lower jaw and avoid its displacement into deep facial space, and computer-assisted navigation with a mandible reference frame is recommended for removal of the foreign body in the lower jaw.

Abstract
Knee arthritis is a common joint disease that usually requires a total knee arthroplasty. There are multiple surgical variables that have a direct impact on the correct positioning of the implants, and an optimal combination of all these variables is the most challenging aspect of the procedure. Usually, preoperative planning using a computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging helps the surgeon in deciding the most suitable resections to be made. This work is a proof of concept for a navigation system that supports the surgeon in following a preoperative plan. Existing solutions require costly sensors and special markers, fixed to the bones using additional incisions, which can interfere with the normal surgical flow. In contrast, the authors propose a computer-aided system that uses consumer RGB and depth cameras and do not require additional markers or tools to be tracked. They combine a deep learning approach for segmenting the bone surface with a recent registration algorithm for computing the pose of the navigation sensor with respect to the preoperative 3D model. Experimental validation using ex-vivo data shows that the method enables contactless pose estimation of the navigation sensor with the preoperative model, providing valuable information for guiding the surgeon during the medical procedure.

Abstract
Aim: To analyze the accuracy capability of two computer-aided navigation procedures for dental implant placement. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 dental implants were selected, which were randomly distributed into two study groups, namely, group A, consisting of those implants that were placed using a computer-aided static navigation system (n = 20) (guided implant (GI)) and group B, consisting of those implants that were placed using a computer-aided dynamic navigation system (n = 20) (navigation implant (NI)). The placement of the implants from group A was performed using surgical templates that were designed using 3D implant-planning software based on preoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a 3D extraoral surface scan, and the placement of group B implants was planned and performed using the dynamic navigation system. After placing the dental implants, a second CBCT was performed and the degree of accuracy of the planning and placement of the implants was analyzed using therapeutic planning software and Student’s t-test. Results: The paired t-test revealed no statistically significant differences between GI and NI at the coronal (p = 0.6535) and apical (p = 0.9081) levels; however, statistically significant differences were observed between the angular deviations of GI and NI (p = 0.0272). Conclusion: Both computer-aided static and dynamic navigation procedures allow accurate implant placement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited in vivo kinematic information exists on the effect of clinical-based partial medial and lateral meniscectomy in the context of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. HYPOTHESIS In patients with ACL deficiency, partial medial meniscus removal increases the anteroposterior (AP) laxity with compared with those with intact menisci, while partial lateral meniscus removal increases dynamic laxity. In addition, greater postoperative laxity would be identified in patients with partial medial meniscectomy. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A total of 164 patients with ACL tears were included in the present study and divided into 4 groups according to the meniscus treatment they underwent: patients with partial lateral meniscectomy (LM group), patients with partial medial meniscectomy (MM group), patients with partial medial and lateral meniscectomy (MLM group), and patients with intact menisci who did not undergo any meniscus treatment (IM group). A further division in 2 new homogeneous groups was made based on the surgical technique: 46 had an isolated single-bundle anatomic ACL reconstruction (ACL group), while 13 underwent a combined single-bundle anatomic ACL reconstruction and partial medial meniscectomy (MM-ACL group). Standard clinical laxities (AP translation at 30° of knee flexion, AP translation at 90° of knee flexion) and pivot-shift (PS) tests were quantified before and after surgery by means of a surgical navigation system dedicated to kinematic assessment. The PS test was quantified through 3 different parameters: the anterior displacement of the lateral tibial compartment (lateral AP); the posterior acceleration of the lateral AP during tibial reduction (posterior acceleration); and finally, the area included by the lateral AP translation with respect to the flexion/extension angle (area). RESULTS In the ACL-deficient status, the MM group showed a significantly greater tibial translation compared with the IM group (P < .0001 for AP displacement at 30° [AP30] and 90° [AP90] of flexion) and the LM group (P = .002 for AP30 and P < .0001 for AP90). In the PS test, the area of LM group was significantly larger (57%; P = .0175) than the one of the IM group. After ACL reconstruction, AP translation at 30° was restored, while the AP90 remained significantly greater at 1.3 mm (P = .0262) in the MM-ACL group compared with those with intact menisci. CONCLUSION Before ACL reconstruction, partial medial meniscectomy increased AP laxity at 30° and 90° and lateral meniscectomy increased dynamic PS laxity with respect to intact menisci. Anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction decreased laxities, but a residual anterior translation of 1.3 mm at 90° remained in patients with partial medial meniscectomy, with respect to those with intact menisci.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We present a new, easily applicable approach for the guidance of cryoballoon (CB) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedures that use the combination of a 3D-mapping system image integration module and computed tomographic (CT)-derived anatomy. The aim of this retrospective, nonrandomized study was to investigate: (a) an alternative use for an established radiofrequency image integration module for cryo procedures; (b) a guidance technology for cryo PVI based on integrated CT anatomy; and (c) its clinical impact. METHODS AND RESULTS CT left atrium-angiography was performed in 50 consecutive patients before a CB PVI procedure, and a 3D reconstruction of the cardiac anatomy was segmented. A total of 25 patients were treated using conventional fluoroscopy; 25 patients were treated using the 3D image integration technique. In the image integration group, the CARTO3 UNIVU (Biosense Webster) module was used for image integration of 3D anatomy and fluoroscopic imaging. Transseptal puncture and cryo PVI were guided by 3D-overlay imaging. Procedures were feasible without complications in all patients and cryo PVI procedures were successfully guided using the image integration technique. The intraprocedural time needed to perform image integration was 37 ± 10 seconds. Fluoroscopy time was 31.7 ± 11.7 minutes in the conventional group and 20.1 ± 7.9 minutes in the image integration group (P < .001), procedure time was 116.3 ± 29.0 minutes in the conventional group vs 101.2 ± 20.9 minutes in the 3D group (P = .04). CONCLUSION 3D-overlay guidance of CB PVI is feasible, safe, and applicable in real time with minimal effort. It may significantly reduce radiation exposure by introducing 3D information, known from electroanatomic mapping systems, into cryo PVI procedures.

Abstract
The aim of this cadaveric study was to evaluate the intraoperative kinematics of the native knee including two-dimensional translation of the femur using a navigation system. Eight native knees of 4 fresh-frozen whole-body cadavers were used for the study. The kinematics of each knee were analyzed intraoperatively using the navigation system. Although anterior-posterior translation could not be assessed directly, it could be calculated using a formula derived from the parameters in the navigation system. The native knee showed external rotation of the femur in early knee flexion, transient internal rotation in mid flexion, and gradual external rotation in late flexion. There was no marked change in the coronal rotation angle of the mechanical axis during knee flexion. The femoral center moved anteriorly in early knee flexion and posteriorly in late flexion. The distance moved in the medial-lateral direction was relatively smaller than that in the anterior-posterior direction. Two-dimensional translation of the surgical epicondylar axis showed a medial pivot-like motion. In this cadaveric study, the kinematics of the native knee, including two-dimensional translation of the femur, could be satisfactorily assessed intraoperatively using a navigation system. The intraoperative kinematics of the knee can be analyzed in more detail using this methodology. J. Med. Invest. 66 : 367-371, August, 2019.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the effect of the anteroposterior (AP) axis of the proximal tibia defined at the cutting surface using an image-free navigation system in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS This prospective study included 68 patients (79 knees) who underwent total knee arthroplasty. The tibial AP axis was registered in the navigation system with reference to Akagi's line, connecting the middle of the posterior cruciate ligament to the medial border of the patellar tendon attachment at the tibial joint surface. After proximal tibial osteotomy, the AP axis was replicated as the AP(O) axis. We measured the difference between the AP axis defined at the joint surface and the AP(O) axis defined at the osteotomy surface. RESULTS The AP(O) axis at the osteotomy surface internally rotated 2.0° to the AP axis at the joint surface, and the AP(O) axis outlier (difference to AP axis: >3°) occurred in 54% (43 knees). In the >3° malrotation group, internal malrotation occurred in 37% (30 knees) and external malrotation occurred in 17% (13 knees). In the outlier analysis, the left knees were significantly found in the internal outlier group. CONCLUSION The tibial AP axis, connecting the middle of the posterior cruciate ligament to the medial border of the patellar tendon attachment defined at the tibial joint surface, could not be replicated at the tibial osteotomy surface. If the tibial components were set depending only on the AP axis defined at the osteotomy surface, the tibial components could internally rotate and have more outliers, especially in the left knees.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adequate initial stability of the acetabular cup is essential for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, changes in the alignment of the acetabular component caused by screw fixation are concerning in patients with inadequate bone stock. This study aimed to investigate the effects of screw fixation on the alignment of the acetabular component in THA patients with hip dysplasia. METHODS We retrospectively examined 256 hips (range 28-87 years) that underwent THA using a navigation system. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the presence or absence of changes in the alignment of the intraoperative acetabular cup, and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors that were predictive of changes in acetabular component alignment after screw fixation in 2 dimensions: inclination and anteversion. RESULTS Screw fixation led to a mean change in inclination of 1.6° (range 0-10°) and a mean change in anteversion of 1.4° (range 0-14°). The Crowe classification, the presence of bone cysts, and the use of an inferior quadrant screw were identified as factors that correlated with acetabular cup alignment changes in inclination (odds ratios, 6.01, 5.94 and 0.03, respectively). Only the Crowe classification was identified as a factor that correlated with intraoperative alignment changes in anteversion (odds ratio, 2.08). CONCLUSIONS Screw fixation altered the acetabular cup alignment. The inclination changes were related to the extent of the dysplasia, and the risk was reduced when the inferior quadrant screw was used. Surgeons should use caution during screw fixation in THAs performed on severely dysplastic hips.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Navigation systems create a connection between imaging data and intraoperative situs, allowing the surgeon to consistently determine the location of instruments and patient anatomy during the surgical procedure. The best results regarding the target registration error (measurement uncertainty) are normally demonstrated using fiducials. This study aimed at investigating a new registration strategy for an electromagnetic navigation device. METHODS For evaluation of an electromagnetic navigation system and comparison of registration with screw markers and automatic registration, we are calculating the target registration error in the region of the paranasal sinuses/anterior and lateral skull base with the use of an electromagnetic navigation system and intraoperative digital volume tomography (cone-beam computed tomography). We carried out 10 registrations on a head model (total n = 150 measurements) and 10 registrations on 4 temporal bone specimens (total n = 160 measurements). RESULTS All in all, the automatic registration was easy to perform. For the models that were used, a significant difference between an automatic registration and the registration on fiducials was evident for just a limited number of screws. Furthermore, the observed differences varied in terms of the preferential registration procedure. CONCLUSION The automatic registration strategy seems to be an alternative to the established methods in artificial and cadaver models of intraoperative scenarios. Using intraoperative imaging, there is an option to resort to this kind of registration as needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to develop and validate a system for automatic segmentation of the spine, pedicle identification, and screw path suggestion for use with an intraoperative 3D surgical navigation system. METHODS Cone-beam CT (CBCT) images of the spines of 21 cadavers were obtained. An automated model-based approach was used for segmentation. Using machine learning methodology, the algorithm was trained and validated on the image data sets. For measuring accuracy, surface area errors of the automatic segmentation were compared to the manually outlined reference surface on CBCT. To further test both technical and clinical accuracy, the algorithm was applied to a set of 20 clinical cases. The authors evaluated the system's accuracy in pedicle identification by measuring the distance between the user-defined midpoint of each pedicle and the automatically segmented midpoint. Finally, 2 independent surgeons performed a qualitative evaluation of the segmentation to judge whether it was adequate to guide surgical navigation and whether it would have resulted in a clinically acceptable pedicle screw placement. RESULTS The clinically relevant pedicle identification and automatic pedicle screw planning accuracy was 86.1%. By excluding patients with severe spinal deformities (i.e., Cobb angle > 75° and severe spinal degeneration) and previous surgeries, a success rate of 95.4% was achieved. The mean time (± SD) for automatic segmentation and screw planning in 5 vertebrae was 11 ± 4 seconds. CONCLUSIONS The technology investigated has the potential to aid surgeons in navigational planning and improve surgical navigation workflow while maintaining patient safety.

Abstract
RATIONALE Deep neck infections (DNIs) in the head and neck area are difficult to treat due to the anatomical complexity of the cervical region. Since inflammation causes changes in anatomy, it is often difficult to find the exact location of the abscess, which leads to failed surgical drainage. PATIENT CONCERN A 76-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic with trismus and right-side facial swelling. After extraction of her lower third molar 2 weeks ago, due to chronic periodontitis, her trismus had aggravated and her maximal mouth opening was 20 mm. DIAGNOSES Computed tomography (CT) revealed an approximately 2.5 cm-sized abscess pocket with cellulitis in the right pterygomandibular space. INTERVENTIONS Since the first surgical drainage attempt using the intraoral approach under general anesthesia had failed and conservative antibiotic treatment was also ineffective, a second surgical procedure with a CT-guided navigation system was performed and the pus was successfully evacuated. OUTCOMES After drainage with CT-guided navigation, the clinical symptoms and septic conditions of the patient showed remarkable improvement, and there was no recurrence of infection within a year after the procedure. LESSONS Drainage with CT-guided navigation can be used as a successful surgical tool to aid in the surgery of patients with DNI when it is difficult to accurately target the abscess due to inflammation.

Abstract
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a most common pathology among all other ENT diseases that accounts for approximately 48% of the total number of their cases. Modern surgery witnesses the advent of new methods for the management of these conditions in parallel with the modification of the known techniques intended to improve the post-operative outcomes of the treatment and rehabilitation of the patients. The objective of the present study was to enhance the effectiveness of the surgical treatment of the patients presenting with chronic suppurative otitis media by making use of the relevant navigation systems. A total of 29 patients presenting with CSOM underwent the surgical intervention on 31 ears. The open variant of sanation surgery on the middle ear was chosen including the hearing-improving component or without it depending on the extension of the pathological process under control of the Navigation Panel Unit ('Karl Storz', Germany) and KICK ('BrainLab', Gerfmany) navigation systems. Special emphasis is placed on the selected peculiar features of their application. It was shown that the use of the aforementioned navigation systems considerably improved the field of vision and the orientation in all compartments of the middle ear which made it possible to prevent the potential intra-operative (in all 31 cases) and post-operative complications. None of the patients suffered complications within 2 months after the onset of the treatment. The microotoscopice examination revealed the signs of the inflammatory process in three patients 6 months after surgery. Only one patient was suspected to have a recurrent cholesteatoma 12 months after the surgical intervention. The second operation included the removal of the cholesteatoma pearl, revision of the post-operative cavity, and re-tympanoplasty. The most important positive effects expected from the application of the navigation systems include the improved orientation in three dimensions that gives assurance to the surgeon thereby making his actions more accurate and precise and the reduction of the duration of the surgical intervention.

Abstract
Background: Wheelchair users are increasingly using route planners and navigation systems to help them get around the city. The absence of a list of usability criteria for wheelchair user-centred design and recommending geospatial assistive technologies creates uncertainty about the choices to be made by rehabilitation clinicians and geographic information systems specialists. The aim of this study was to compile such a list by identifying usability criteria from standardized questionnaires linked to user interfaces and geospatial assistive technologies (GATs).Material and methods: We conducted a scoping review in ACM Digital Library, Inspec/Compendex and PsycINFO for the period 2005-2016 using keyword strategies. From 84 articles identified, after screening and exclusion procedures, 15 articles were selected. Data were extracted from them and reported in table 1 (relevant questionnaires listed in alphabetical order, type of user interface, population studied, psychometric properties, type of measurement scale and information about the construct, number of subscales and items) and in table 2 (usability criteria up to 20 items for the questionnaires, scales or constructs, pointing criteria as gold standard in physical rehabilitation and as in geographic information).Results: We identified 87 usability criteria in 12 standardized questionnaires in 15 articles (with at least two types of psychometric properties). There are 54 usability criteria that could be used in clinical situations concerning their potential applicability to GATs for wheelchair users: 20 are familiar to rehabilitation clinicians who recommend assistive technologies, 21 are generic to GATs while 13 are specific to mobile applications or voice recognition systems. It remains 34 criteria that are not actually familiar to clinicians: actual use, content (including content-clarity, content-color, content-consistency, content-credibility, content-legibility, content-relevance, content-trustworthy, and content-understandable), control-obviousness, customer service behavior, delivery format, design-application, ease of navigation, entry-point type, everyday words, fingertip-size controls, font, functions-expected, functions-integration, gestalt, graphics, habit, hierarchy, input, network externality, speech characteristics, structure, subtle animation, time spent waiting, transition, user goal orientation and verbosity.Conclusions: More research is needed to develop a questionnaire specific to geospatial assistive technologies for wheelchair users linked with mobile applications and information content.Implications for rehabilitationFor manual wheelchair users paired with geospatial assistance technology, "effectiveness, efficiency, learnability and satisfaction" are essential criteria for route planning and navigation task.Clinicians can optimize the selection of a geospatial assistance technology considering 16 criteria: appearance, assistance-human support, comfort, ease of holding, ease of use, emotional aspect, endurance, facilitating conditions, intention to use, minimal memory load, physical effort, price value, simplicity, social influence, training and usefulness.Clinicians should have in mind that WC users want to plan a route with as few obstacles as possible. Information on the screen should be accessible to WC users (text, contrast, symbols, graphics, photos, voice, vibration, route views). Hands are occupied with the hand rims, WC users would prefer "listen to verbal" instructions to continue their route instead of looking on their electronic device. 34 criteria are specific for route planning and navigation task.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this prospective pilot clinical study was to evaluate the accuracy of a new dynamic navigation system and postoperative clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients were recruited and 18 implants were placed. The surgery was performed with the navigation system and according to the virtual planning. Ten implants were placed using a flapless technique and eight implant sites were prepared with a combined piezo-drill method. The deviation between the real implant position obtained from the postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and the planned implant position was measured. RESULT The average deviation was 1.19 ± 0.54 mm. The mean deviation measured at the insertion point was 1.04 ± 0.47 mm and at the apical point it was 1.35 ± 0.56 mm. The depth error was 0.43 ± 0.34 mm. The axis deviation was 6.46 ± 3.95 degrees. No significant differences were found between the flapless and the open-flap approaches and between the conventional and piezoelectric techniques. No complications occurred. CONCLUSION The accuracy values reported in this study are comparable, although not superior, to the literature data regarding dynamic and static computer-guided surgery. Dynamic navigation could increase the quality and safety of interventions and may reduce morbidity when compared with freehand insertion techniques.

Abstract
Recently, the integration of an inertial navigation system (INS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS) with a two-antenna GPS receiver has been suggested to improve the stability and accuracy in harsh environments. As is well known, the statistics of state process noise and measurement noise are critical factors to avoid numerical problems and obtain stable and accurate estimates. In this paper, a modified extended Kalman filter (EKF) is proposed by properly adapting the statistics of state process and observation noises through the innovation-based adaptive estimation (IAE) method. The impact of innovation perturbation produced by measurement outliers is found to account for positive feedback and numerical issues. Measurement noise covariance is updated based on a remodification algorithm according to measurement reliability specifications. An experimental field test was performed to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed state estimation method against dynamic model errors and measurement outliers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of pivot shift after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is correlated with worse clinical outcomes. An orthopaedic navigation system is a useful tool for quantifying laxity in the ACL-deficient knee. PURPOSE To investigate the relationship between preoperative knee laxity measured by a navigation system and postoperative pivot shift (PPS) after ACL reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS One hundred patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction (62 hamstring tendon grafts, 38 patellar tendon grafts) were grouped according to the presence or absence of pivot shift at the 2-year follow-up, and the groups were compared retrospectively. Before surgery, knee laxity was assessed with a navigation system to quantify posterior tibial reduction (PTR) during pivot-shift tests and anterior tibial translation (ATT) during Lachman tests. PTR and ATT cutoff values were determined by receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS Preoperative PTR and ATT were significantly larger for patients with PPS (PPS-positive group) than those without (PPS-negative group). In the ROC analysis, the PTR had an area under the curve of 0.871 (95% CI, 0.763-0.979; P < .0001) for predicting a PPS; this was larger than that obtained for the ATT, which had an area under the curve of 0.825 (95% CI, 0.705-0.946; P = .001). Because the ROC curve of the ATT had 2 peaks, the ATT alone was not a suitable predictor for PPS. Based on the ROC curve, the optimal PTR cutoff value was 7 mm, with 88.9% sensitivity and 71.4% specificity for PPS (adjusted odds ratio = 19.7; 95% CI, 2.1-187.9; P = .009). Setting the cutoff value as a combination of the PTR (≧7 mm) and ATT (≧12 mm) improved the specificity (88.9% sensitivity and 84.6% specificity; adjusted odds ratio = 149.8; 95% CI, 5.9-3822.7; P = .002) over that with the PTR alone. CONCLUSION ACL injuries in knees with a large PTR had a higher risk of PPS. When reconstructing the ACL in a knee with a high degree of laxity, surgeons may need to adopt strategies to prevent PPS.

Abstract
The preliminary study analyzed the relationship between intraoperative navigation-based kinematics and postoperative 2-dimensional/3-dimensional (2D/3D) image registration-based kinematics in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Six knees in 5 patients were analyzed. All TKA procedures were performed using an image-free knee navigation system. Tibial internal rotation was assessed by intraoperative knee kinematics. At 1 year after surgery, tibial internal rotation was evaluated using a 2D/3D image registration technique under loaded and unloaded conditions. The correlation between intraoperative and postoperative data for the tibial internal rotation angle at 10 increments of knee flexion was then assessed. Difference in the knee flexion angle between the intraoperative and postoperative evaluations was adjusted to account for the sagittal cutting angle of the distal femur and proximal tibia. A correlation was found between the intraoperative and postoperative data for loaded knee flexion with this adjustment (Pearson's r = 0.725, p = 0.012). However, intraoperative kinematics was not significantly correlated with postoperative kinematics in the absence of loading. Larger adequately powered prospective studies are now needed to confirm our preliminary finding that postoperative loaded kinematics can be predicted by intraoperative evaluation. J. Med. Invest. 65:21-26, February, 2018.
