Robot-Assisted Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation for Extra-Articular Distal Tibial Fractures
28 de julio de 2026 actualizado por: Beijing Jishuitan Hospital
Key Technology Research and Development for Intelligent Minimally Invasive Precision Treatment of Fractures (Sub-project 4: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Robot-Assisted Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation for Distal Tibial Fractures)
This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of an intelligent fracture reduction robot system in treating extra-articular distal tibial fractures.
Traditional manual bone setting depends heavily on a surgeon's experience, which can sometimes lead to inconsistent alignment and increased radiation exposure.
This clinical trial compares robot-assisted closed reduction against the traditional surgeon-led method.
The primary goal is to determine if the robotic system improves the rate of accurate fracture alignment (excellent and good reduction rate) and helps patients recover better.

Grupo de participantes/brazo |
Intervención / Tratamiento |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Robot-Assisted Group
|
The patient undergoes automated or human-robot collaborative closed fracture reduction powered by an intelligent robotic system.
The system integrates deep-learning-based bone segmentation, automatic reduction planning, and a self-adaptive 2D-3D image registration framework to achieve sub-millimeter positioning feedback and force-position collaborative security gates.
Following successful reduction, the fracture is fixed with a distal tibial locking plate via the minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique.
|
|
Comparador activo: Traditional Group
|
The patient undergoes conventional closed or open fracture reduction performed entirely by the surgical team based on traditional clinical experience under ordinary C-arm fluoroscopic guidance.
Internal fixation is achieved using standard distal tibial locking plates or intramedullary nails according to the surgeon's choice and standard of care.

Rate of Excellent or Good Closed Fracture Reduction Assessed by Postoperative Low-Dose CT-Based 3D Quantitative Reduction Grading Criteria
Periodo de tiempo: From completion of surgery to postoperative low-dose CT assessment, assessed up to 2 weeks after surgery
|
The percentage of patients achieving "Excellent" or "Good" anatomical closed reduction. Reduction quality is measured on post-op CT via RadiAnt DICOM Viewer and 3D Slicer based on the worst-performing of 3 dimensions:
The final reduction grade is determined by the lowest category among these parameters, and the primary outcome represents the proportion of patients graded as Excellent or Good. |
