Application of Virtual and Augmented Reality Technology in Hip Surgery: Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Virtual and augmented reality (VAR) represents a combination of current state-of-the-art computer and imaging technologies and has the potential to be a revolutionary technology in many surgical fields. An increasing number of investigators have developed and applied VAR in hip-related surgery with the aim of using this technology to reduce hip surgery-related complications, improve surgical success rates, and reduce surgical risks. These technologies are beginning to be widely used in hip-related preoperative operation simulation and training, intraoperative navigation tools in the operating room, and postoperative rehabilitation.

Objective

With the aim of reviewing the current status of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in hip-related surgery and s
