An Australian lecturer left a lasting impression with his innovative design for a spear. The design allows for adjustment of distal displacement upon spear insertion, with additional offset to meet clinical needs. It is highly user-friendly.
There was also an orthopedic surgeon present who opted for PSI (Patient-Specific Instrumentation) directly, confirming that it provided the customized service he was seeking. Moreover, various applications were showcased. The evidence suggests that precision medicine can be achieved not only through navigation and robotics but also through PSI!
