Key result
Robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery provides high precision and repeatability for procedures requiring fine movements, though the technology is still in its infancy and requires further study.
Robotic assistance in orthopaedic surgery offers high precision and improved implant positioning, though the technology is still in its infancy with a steep learning curve.
Should not yet change orthopaedic practice; leaves open need for prospective trials on outcomes and costs.
In recent years, with emerging technologies, robots are widely used in all possible fields due to their high precision and repeatability especially during procedures which require fine movements beyond human control. Over the decades medical robots have gained acceptance in many surgical procedures for locating lesions accurately and assisting the surgeons in holding and fixing the instruments. Robotic surgery although is advancing exponentially but is still in its infancy and has unlimited potential in the future of orthopaedics and trauma.

Kumar et al. (2020) conducted a review in Orthopaedic conditions. Robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery vs. Conventional surgery was evaluated. Robotic-assisted orthopaedic surgery provides high precision and repeatability for procedures requiring fine movements, though the technology is still in its infancy and requires further study.
