“Mixed Reality (MR) improved interobserver agreement in preoperative planning for tibial plateau fractures, particularly for surgical approach selection and patient positioning.”
Dust 2026 · Comparative study · n: 22 cases
“Diagnostic confidence for AO/OTA differed significantly between modalities (p = 0.045), with the highest values observed for 3DP (76%) and MR (58%) compared to CT (47%).”
Dust 2025 · Validation study · n: 22 cases
“All subjects strongly agreed that MR can be used effectively for surgical training, whereas 10 (90.9%) strongly agreed that it can be used effectively for preoperative planning.”
Moglia 2024 · Survey/user study
“In addition, the intended patient positioning changed in 16.1% of the cases, the surgical approach in 33.9% and osteosynthesis in 39.3%.”
Bitschi 2023 · Survey/user study · n: 3 cases
Study designs: 2 comparative or prospective studies, 3 surveys and user studies and 2 case reports, case series and technical reports.

Orthopedics · Survey/user study
“Analysis of the Likert-scale questionnaire shows that MR adds significant value to understanding and communication, spatial awareness, learning and effectiveness.”

“Furthermore, LS showed that clinicians in the DCU-Net-based MR group had better spatial awareness of tumor preoperative planning.”
Wong KC et al. · Orthopedic research and reviews · 2023
Orthopedics · Feasibility study · n: 9 patients
“The qualitative survey of the LS questionnaire suggested that the MR group had superior spatial awareness of tumors and was considered more effective as a preoperative planning tool than the conventional group.”
