Advancements in Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery: A Current Concept

Robotic systems are revolutionizing the field of orthopaedic surgery by enabling new approaches to joint reconstruction and spine procedures, with the latest technologies in other sub-specialties continuing to emerge. Improvements in system capabilities have enhanced preoperative planning and intraoperative precision, contributing to the growing adoption of robotic technology. With the global surgical robotics market projected to reach $7.42 billion by 2030, the integration of these systems in orthopaedic practice has expanded significantly. Robotic platforms vary in design, functionality, and level of automation, offering advantages such as improved anatomical accuracy and reduced intraoperative variability. This review evaluates recent advancements in robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery, comparing different platforms, their clinical benefits, and their impact on surgical workflows. Additionally, the role of robotics in reducing complications, optimizing rehabilitation, and improving long-term prosthetic surgery is explored. While challenges such as cost and system limitations persist, ongoing innovation continues to drive the integration of robotics into mainstream orthopaedic practice. The future of robotic surgery lies in its ability to refine procedures, expanding indications, and enhance patient care across diverse orthopaedic subspecialties.
