“…As a brief conclusion, it is an unstoppable trend for the RS and CANS to be introduced into a greater variety of surgical scenarios besides hip/knee surgeries, and it is rapidly happening. Robotics and navigation techniques have been playing increasingly important roles in elbow/shoulder, foot/ankle, spine surgeries, arthroscopic surgeries, and far beyond [22,75,77,80,100,101]. With the newly emerging techniques, such as AI, VR, and soft/flexible robotics, robots and navigation systems in orthopedics will become more intelligent, more reliable, and more economical in the future.…”

Since the da Vinci surgical system was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000, the development and deployment of various robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) systems have been largely expedited and boomed. With the rapid advancement of robotic techniques in recent decades, robot-assisted systems have been widely used in various surgeries including orthopedics. These robot-related techniques are transforming the conventional ways to conduct surgical procedures. Robot-assisted orthopedic surgeries have become more and more popular due to their potential benefits of increased accuracy and precision in surgical outcomes, enhanced reproducibility, reduced technical variability, decreased pain, and faster recovery time. In this paper, robotic systems and navigation techniques in typical orthopedic surgeries are reviewed, especially for arthroplasty. From the perspective of robotics and engineering, the systems and techniques are divided into two main categories, i.e., robotic systems (RSs), and computer-aided navigation systems (CANSs). The former is further divided into autonomous RS, hands-on RS, and teleoperated RS. For the latter, three key elements in CANS are introduced, including 3D modeling, registration, and navigation. Lastly, the potential advantages and disadvantages of the RS and CANS are summarized and discussed. Future perspectives on robotics in orthopedics, as well as the challenges, are presented.

“…Currently, robots are becoming ever more prevalent in medical services [ [7] , [8] , [9] ]. These robots perform a wide range of tasks, including electrophysiology sensing [ 8 ], robotic technology in foot and ankle surgery [ 10 ], and prosthetic tasks [ 9 ]. With the development of wireless networks and devices, medical robots have transitioned to OMSRs.…”
