The study examined the accuracy of the Pixee Medical Knee+ augmented-reality system with smart glasses compared to conventional techniques. Researchers did a systematic review of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase databases up to May 2021 to assess evidence of augmented reality in total knee replacements.

Researchers concluded: “On light of our preliminary results, the Knee+ system is accurate and effective to perform TKA. The translation from pilot study to high-level prospective studies is warranted to assess accuracy and cost-effective analysis compared to conventional techniques.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
