Abstract
This paper describes the first implementation of a system for assisting the surgeon before and during the implant of a knee prosthesis. The semi-automatic procedure we are testing lets the surgeon plan the intervention on a workstation SUN, and aims at the execution of precise resections. Cuts are performed by a robotic manipulator, after a matching phase based on some markers inserted in the femur and the tibia before the pre-operative CT analysis.
