The Role of Robotic-Assisted Surgery in Orthopedic Practice: A Comprehensive Review of Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Robotic-assisted surgery has emerged as an important innovation in orthopedic practice, offering millimeter-level operative accuracy, enhanced reproducibility, and the potential for improved clinical outcomes. Its applications span joint replacement, spine surgery, trauma fixation, and expanding areas such as oncology and complex reconstructions. Evidence demonstrates superior implant alignment, reduced radiation exposure, and improved perioperative outcomes compared to conventional techniques; however, the long-term functional benefits and cost-effectiveness remain debated. Recent advances, including artificial intelligence, optical navigation, haptic technology, and augmented reality, are expanding the scope and accuracy of robotic platforms. Despite promising outcomes, challenges such as high costs, steep learning curves, and limited accessibility persist, hindering widespread adoption. Future integration of AI-driven decision support, real-time imaging, and more autonomous tactile systems is expected to further personalize and refine orthopedic care. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis of current applications, technological innovations, limitations, and future directions of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery.
