| description | Abstract Background Pelvic fragility fractures in elderly individuals present significant challenges in orthopedic and geriatric medicine due to reduced bone density and increased frailty associated with aging. Methods This study involved 150 elderly patients with pelvic fragility fractures. The patients were divided into two groups, the observation group (Observation) and the control group (Control), using a random number table. Artificial intelligence, specifically the Tianji Orthopedic Robot, was employed for surgical assistance. The observation group received bone cement reinforcement along with screw fixation using the robotic system, while the control group received conventional screw fixation alone. Follow-up data were collected for one-year post-treatment. Results The observation group exhibited significantly lower clinical healing time of fractures and reduced bed rest time compared to the control group. Additionally, the observation group experienced less postoperative pain at 1 and 3 months, indicating the benefits of bone cement reinforcement. Moreover, patients in the observation group demonstrated significantly better functional recovery at 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-surgery compared to the control group. Conclusion The combination of bone cement reinforcement and robotic technology resulted in accelerated fracture healing, reduced bed rest time, and improved postoperative pain relief and functional recovery. |
