Development of Robotic Osteochondral Autologous Transplantation Utilizing a Novel Bone Grafting Method

Abstract

The goal of the project in Year 1 is to design and fabricate prototype of the proposed bone harvesting device and micro saw that enable root-side cutting of donor for osteochondral autograft transplantation. We designed the proposed bone harvesting device with tension mechanism as well as open ends oscillating mechanism as an alternative solution. Also, a flexible micro saw with timing-belt like drive mechanism was designed to overcome limitations of complexity and cutting strength. An animal bone cutting test demonstrated that the fabricated micro saw with oscillating cutting is capable of cutting the bone, which has been published as a journal paper. The study will be presented at the 2023 Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS).
