Robot accuracy test in spinal surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests how accurately a robotic system helps place screws in the spine during surgery. It may benefit people who need spinal surgery that involves inserting pedicle screws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need spinal surgery that involves placing pedicle screws.
- You or your legal representative can give permission to join the study.
- You have health insurance or social security coverage.
- If you are a woman of childbearing age, you have a negative pregnancy test.

This study compares a new computer-guided system (PathKeeper) to the usual method for placing screws in the spine during open surgery. It aims to see if the new system makes screw placement more accurate.
This trial studies how well and how efficiently robotic surgery works in both children and adults who need a procedure where robotic surgery is appropriate. It may help surgeons plan safer, smoother operations and improve operating-room efficiency.
This study tests whether using a robot to help place the tunnel during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction is better or more accurate than the usual approach. You may benefit if you need ACL surgery and your care team has robot experience.
This trial studies how well a robotic system helps surgeons place screws in the spine. It may help make the surgery more precise and safer.
This trial registry collects information about kids and teens with spine deformities who are scheduled for robotic or navigation-assisted surgery (sometimes using custom rods). It may help doctors improve these advanced techniques over time.
This trial tests a 3D scanner that maps your spine during surgery to help the surgeon work more accurately. It is for people already planning spine surgery where the back bones are exposed.
