The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of an intelligent robotic system (RAFR) for the treatment of unstable pelvic fractures using a minimally invasive approach. All 32 patients were successfully treated without the need for conversion to open surgery. Median operative time was 270 minutes, blood loss 150 milliliters, and fluoroscopic exposures 35. According to Matt's criteria, 53.1% of patients achieved excellent reduction, 37.5% good, and 9.4% satisfactory, resulting in an overall excellent to good ratio of 90.6%. Majeed's average score at the final follow-up was 76.7 points. During follow-up, no serious complications such as deep infection, implant failure, or damage to nerves and blood vessels were observed. The results confirm the safety and feasibility of robot-assisted treatment of unstable pelvic fractures.
