Prospective Robotic Global Research Study (PROGRESS)

Prospective Robotic Global Research Study (PROGRESS)

The purpose of this study is to prospectively review outcomes of patients who have surgery with the ExcelsiusGPS™ robotics system in order to analyze screw placement accuracy. Patient demographics, intraoperative data and radiographic imaging to determine screw placement accuracy will be collected and reviewed. This information will be compared in a separate study to retrospectively collected data from sites who have done a similar number of cases without the robot.
