Robotic-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery: Platforms, Precision, and Clinical Outcomes

This chapter delivers a structured review of contemporary robotic-assisted surgical platforms in orthopedics, including systems deployed in arthroplasty, spinal instrumentation, and fracture fixation, with detailed discussion of their biomechanical accuracy, haptic feedback capabilities, and workflow integration. Clinical outcome data from prospective trials and registry studies are synthesized to assess implant positioning accuracy, early functional recovery, and implant survivorship in comparison with conventional techniques. The chapter also addresses cost-effectiveness, training requirements, and the trajectory of next-generation robotic systems incorporating real-time imaging and augmented reality.
