The novel innovative system assessed in this experimental study provided proof-of-concept for the feasibility of percutaneous screw placement in the pelvis and, thus, could easily be adapted to a specific clinical scenario. The system showed comparable performance with other computer-aided solutions while providing specific advantages such as true 3D vision without intraoperative radiation; however, it needs further improvement and must still undergo regulatory body approval. Future endeavors include intraoperative registration and optimized tool tracking.
