Highlights the need for cybersecurity in surgical robotics to ensure patient safety and trust.
Robotic platforms have revolutionized arthroplasty through precision and patient-specific planning, yet introduce cyber-physical vulnerabilities in interconnected surgical ecosystems. Recent incidents, including the 2026 cyber-attack, highlight operational risks despite low direct intraoperative threats. Proactive cybersecurity, via FDA-aligned secure design, institutional audits, and surgeon vigilance, is imperative to safeguard patient safety and trust in precision orthopedics.
