: In this study, we investigated a novel surgical method for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a smart handheld robot. A digital guide was created with the assistance of arthroscopy, and a cadaver experiment was conducted, in which the accuracy of tunnel placement was found to be better than that using a traditional surgical guide.
