Status of robot-assisted artificial total joint arthroplasty in China: a cross-sectional survey of joint surgeons.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report on the use of Robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (RA-TJA) in China as well as the experience and expectations of Chinese doctors regarding this technology.

Robot-assisted versus navigation-assisted screw placement in spinal vertebrae.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: Both robots and navigation are effective strategies for optimizing screw placement, as compared to freehand placement. However, few studies have compared the accuracy and efficiency of these two techniques. Thus, the purpose of this study is...

The learning curve of imageless robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty with standardised laxity testing requires the completion of nine cases, but does not reach time neutrality compared to conventional surgery.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: The assistance of robot technology is introduced into the operating theatre to improve the precision of a total knee arthroplasty. However, as with all new technology, new technology requires a learning curve to reach adequate proficiency. T...

How long does image based robotic total knee arthroplasty take during the learning phase? Analysis of the key steps from the first fifty cases.

International orthopaedics
INTRODUCTION: Robotically assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) is an emerging surgical tool. The purpose of this study was to analyze the length of time taken to perform the key steps of a RA-TKA for a surgeon and centre new to the MAKO robotic ...

What are the perceived benefits and barriers to the use of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty? A survey of members of the European Knee Society.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: Members of the European Knee Society (EKS) recently took part in an online questionnaire on robot-assisted TKA. The purpose of this study was to report and analyse the questionnaire results on the demographics of users versus non-users, the ...

Robot-assisted all-epiphyseal anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in skeletally immature patients: a retrospective study.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: To review a series of adolescent patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries surgically treated with robot-assisted all-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction (ACLR), and to compare with the traditional freehand group.

Robot-assisted vs traditional percutaneous freehand for the scaphoid fracture treatment: a retrospective study.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficiency, safety, and accuracy of cannulated screw fixation using a robot-assisted method compared with a traditional percutaneous freehand method.

Artificial intelligence in spine surgery.

International orthopaedics
The continuous progress of research and clinical trials has offered a wide variety of information concerning the spine and the treatment of the different spinal pathologies that may occur. Planning the best therapy for each patient could be a very di...

Robotics in spine surgery: systematic review of literature.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: Over 4.83 million spine surgery procedures are performed annually around the world. With the considerable caseload and the precision needed to achieve optimal spinal instrumentation, technical progress has helped to improve the technique's s...

Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning for the hip and knee surgeon: current state and implications for the future.

International orthopaedics
BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) applications have been proven efficient to improve diagnosis, to stratify risk, and to predict outcomes in many respective medical specialties, including in orthopaedics.
