New research

  1. Clinical Applications of 3D Specimen Scanning and Margin Mapping in Musculoskeletal Oncology: A 36 Patient Case Series.

    Journal of Surgical Oncology · Aug 31 2026 · PubMed

    A 36-patient series shows 3D specimen scanning and virtual margin mapping is a scalable workflow that enables AR-guided re-resection and dynamic margin visualization in musculoskeletal oncology.

  2. What Is the 5-year Survival of Patients With or Without Surgery in Spinal Metastatic Disease?

    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research · Aug 31 2026 · PubMed

    In a large registry, only about 9% of spinal metastasis patients survived 5 years, with SORG and NESMS scores remaining strong predictors of long-term survival to guide surgical decision-making.
