Abstract

The landscape of orthopedic joint surgeries, specifically total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), is rapidly changing, and artificial intelligence (AI) along with robotics is at the helm of this transformation. These technologies, working synergistically, have introduced unprecedented levels of precision and personalization to surgical procedures, thereby significantly enhancing patient outcomes. In this editorial, we explore the changing perspectives of orthopedic surgeons toward AI and robotics and dissect the incorporation of these technologies in surgeries, their associated advantages, their inherent limitations, and potential future prospects. We draw from a host of recent studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these transformative technologies can augment surgical performance and patient care.
