Do Robotic and AI Technologies Improve Outcomes in Orthopaedic Surgery or Raise Costs and Learning Curves?

Robotic and AI technologies are making waves in orthopaedic surgery by enhancing precision in procedures like total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA), and spinal surgeries. While these advancements offer improved implant alignment and diagnostics, concerns linger regarding their high costs, steep learning curves for surgeons, and limited long-term evidence surrounding their cost-effectiveness.
