To assess technical feasibility, accuracy, safety and patient radiation exposure of a novel navigational tool integrating augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI), during percutaneous vertebroplasty of patients with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).
Material and methods
This prospective parallel randomised open trial compared the trans-pedicular access phase of percutaneous vertebroplasty across two groups of 10 patients, electronically randomised, with symptomatic single-level VCFs. Trocar insertion was performed using AR/AI-guidance with motion compensation in Group A, and standard fluoroscopy in Group B. The primary endpoint was technical feasibility in Group A. Secondary outcomes included the comparison of Groups A and B in terms of accuracy of trocar placement (distance between planned/actual trajectory on sagittal/coronal fluoroscopic images); complications; time for trocar deployment; and radiation dose/fluoroscopy time.
Results
Technical feasibility in Group A was 100%. Accuracy in Group A was 1.68 ± 0.25 mm (skin entry point), and 1.02 ± 0.26 mm (trocar tip) in the sagittal plane, and 1.88 ± 0.28 mm (skin entry point) and 0.86 ± 0.17 mm (trocar tip) in the coronal plane, without any significant difference compared to Group B (p > 0.05). No complications were observed in the entire population. Time for trocar deployment was significantly longer in Group A (642 ± 210 s) than in Group B (336 ± 60 s; p = 0.001). Dose–area product and fluoroscopy time were significantly lower in Group A (182.6 ± 106.7 mGy cm2 and 5.2 ± 2.6 s) than in Group B (367.8 ± 184.7 mGy cm2 and 10.4 ± 4.1 s; p = 0.025 and 0.005), respectively.
Conclusion
AR/AI-guided percutaneous vertebroplasty appears feasible, accurate and safe, and facilitates lower patient radiation exposure compared to standard fluoroscopic guidance.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.
Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
Personen mit chronischen Rückenschmerzen, die von einfühlsamen Ärzten und Ärztinnen betreut werden, berichten über weniger Beschwerden und eine bessere Lebensqualität.
