发展中的国际计算机辅助骨科手术协会

国际计算机辅助骨科手术协会(CAOS-International)是目前致力于计算机辅助骨科手术(CAOS)临床应用和相关生物医学工程技术研究的国际性学术组织。协会通过每年举办学术年会,召集世界各地的骨科医生、工程师及医疗器械厂商探讨CAOS的应用现状和未来发展趋势。其深远目标是通过会议讨论,交换研究和临床信息,并通过计算机辅助系统帮助术前计划、术中操作和术后评估。协会的宗旨是促进骨科医生与技术人员间的合作,使CAOS系统成为临床日常应用的有利工具和有用技术。协会成立迄今已有5年历史,通过国际间的学术交流和各相关学科的技术融合,极大地推动了CAOS技术的发展和普及。中国的CAOS研究还处于起步阶段,积极参加CAOS-International的学术活动,了解有关信息,将有助于及时跟踪国际学术动态,推动相关研究。

Development of CAOS-International

The International Society for Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS-International) is an organization, which aims at bringing together those individuals throughout the world, who, by their contributions and activities in the areas of biomechanical engineering, research, clinical study, and use, have indicated or are indicating interest in computer assisted orthopaedic surgery. CAOS-International has held annual meetings and related workshops and disseminated information to its members either at these meetings or independently, since its foundation in 2001. Its further purpose is to serve as a forum for the exchange of information of both an investigative and clinical nature, which relates to preoperative planning, intraoperative execution, and postoperative follow-up by means of computer assistance. The Society aims at promoting a new partnership between orthopaedic surgeons and technologists as a necessary basis for the successful integration of computer assisted surgical tools and techniques into the daily clinical routine. In China, this integration is at an early stage. Participation in CAOS-International' s activities to obtain the information helps China track the international current development and promote related research.
