Robotic technology is increasingly utilized in surgical procedures to enhance precision, particularly in tasks demanding delicate maneuvers beyond human capabilities. Robotic orthopedic surgery emerges as a dynamic and compelling technology reshaping the landscape of surgical practice. This aids surgeons in achieving enhanced accuracy and reproducibility, ultimately aiming for improved patient outcomes. At now, the majority of these systems are in a developed stage and are gradually gaining broader adoption. These systems have to show that they are user-friendly, successful in clinical settings, and have a good cost-effectiveness ratio before they can be widely adopted in the field of surgery. In this overview, I examine the evolution of robotics in orthopedic surgery, assess current applications, and offer insights into the future trajectory of this technology with advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
