Robot arm aims to boost accuracy in bone treatments
NCT ID NCT06376682
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested a robotic system called EPIONE that helps doctors perform CT-guided procedures on bones, such as biopsies or treatments for tumors and fractures. The trial included 34 adults who needed these procedures under general anesthesia. The main goal was to see if the robot could be used successfully and safely, measuring how often doctors had to switch to a manual method and tracking any side effects.

What this could lead to
If successful, this robotic system could make bone procedures like biopsies and tumor treatments more precise and reliable.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 34 participants. The robot may not work for all patients or procedures, and risks like device-related complications are still being evaluated.
