    Summary
    Abstract : Surgical navigation systems and medical robotic devices are increasingly being used during trauma and orthopedic surgery. This article tries to present the underlying technology of these devices and to describe different approaches to the various aspects of the methods. To structure the variety of available products and presented research modules, a new categorization for these approaches is proposed. Examples of pre- or intraoperative imaging modalities, of trackers for navigation systems, of different surgical robots, and of methods for registration as well as referencing are discussed. Many applications that have been realized for numerous surgical procedures will be presented and their advantages, disadvantages, and possible implications will be elucidated
