How augmented surgery could change the future of Orthopedics (VIDEO)

 

If you’re undergoing surgery, you want the best surgical team to collaborate on your case, no matter where they are.

Watch the system in action as she joins a surgeon in Minnesota performing a knee surgery, live on her laptop from the TED stage in New Orleans. As Hachach-Haram said: “Through simple, everyday devices that we take for granted, we can really do miraculous things.”
