Future health-care projection projects a significant growth in population by 2020. Health care has seen an exponential growth in technology to address the growing population with the decreasing number of physicians and health-care workers. Robotics in health care has been introduced to address this growing need. Early adoption of robotics was limited because of the limited application of the technology, the cumbersome nature of the equipment, and technical complications. A continued improvement in efficacy, adaptability, and cost reduction has stimulated increased interest in robotic-assisted surgery. The evolution in orthopedic surgery has allowed for advanced surgical planning, precision robotic machining of bone, improved implant-bone contact, optimization of implant placement, and optimization of the mechanical alignment. The potential benefits of robotic surgery include improved surgical work flow, improvements in efficacy and reduction in surgical time. Robotic-assisted surgery will continue to evolve in the orthopedic field.
未来的医疗保健预测显示，到 2020 年人口将显著增长。医疗保健领域的技术呈指数级增长，以应对医生和医疗保健工作者人数减少、人口不断增长的问题。医疗机器人的引入就是为了满足这一不断增长的需求。由于技术应用有限、设备笨重以及技术复杂，早期采用机器人技术受到限制。机器人辅助手术的兴趣不断增加，是因为其在疗效、适应性和成本降低方面的持续改进。骨科手术的发展使得先进的手术规划、骨骼的精确机器人加工、改善植入物与骨骼的接触、优化植入物的放置和机械对准得以实现。机器人手术的潜在好处包括改善手术流程、提高疗效和缩短手术时间。机器人辅助手术将继续在骨科领域发展。
