Robot-assisted femoral shaft reduction cuts fluoroscopy by about two-thirds and improves alignment in a 30-patient controlled study
A prospective non-randomized controlled study of 30 patients reports that robot-assisted closed reduction of femoral shaft fractures delivered superior alignment and substantially lower fluoroscopy burden compared with conventional technique, without a difference in blood loss or total reduction time.
