Abstract
We explore the advancements and applications of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) in orthopedic procedures, focusing on four major joints like the shoulder, hip, knee, and spine. It emphasizes the evolution of technologies such as computer-assisted navigation, 3D model building, and robotic assistance in joint replacement surgeries, highlighting their impact on precision and outcome. We also outline the challenges and limitations of applying robotics to shoulder arthroplasty. In hip and knee arthroplasty, we review the historical development of robotic systems, comparing their efficacy with conventional methods and addressing concerns such as learning curve, cost, and long-term outcomes. Additionally, we also delve into the emerging role of robotics in spine surgery, showcasing various robotic systems and their contribution to accuracy. Despite the progress, we emphasize on the necessity for more extensive clinical trials and research to establish the long-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgeries.
