Abstract

Orthopedics is undergoing a transformative shift driven by personalized medical technologies that enhance precision, efficiency, and patient outcomes. Virtual surgical planning, robotic assistance, and real-time 3D navigation have revolutionized procedures like total knee arthroplasty and hip replacement, offering unparalleled accuracy and reducing recovery times. Integrating artificial intelligence, advanced imaging, and 3D-printed patient-specific implants further elevates surgical precision, minimizes intraoperative complications, and supports individualized care. In sports orthopedics, wearable sensors and motion analysis technologies are revolutionizing diagnostics, injury prevention, and rehabilitation, enabling real-time decision-making and improved patient safety. Health-tracking devices are advancing recovery and supporting preventative care, transforming athletic performance management. Concurrently, breakthroughs in biologics, biomaterials, and bioprinting are reshaping treatments for cartilage defects, ligament injuries, osteoporosis, and meniscal damage. These innovations are poised to establish new benchmarks for regenerative medicine in orthopedics. By combining cutting-edge technologies with interdisciplinary collaboration, the field is redefining surgical standards, optimizing patient care, and paving the way for a highly personalized and efficient future.
