Mixed Reality Improves 3D Visualization and Spatial Awareness of Bone Tumors for Surgical Planning in Orthopaedic Oncology: A Proof of Concept Study.

MR technology may improve 3D visualization and spatial awareness of bone tumors in patients' anatomies and may facilitate surgical planning before skin incisions in orthopedic oncology surgery. With less cognitive load and better ergonomics, surgeons can focus on patients and surgical tasks with MR technology. Further studies must investigate whether MR technology improves clinical outcomes.
