Patient Care and Orthopedic Innovation in the Age of AI: Why Human Skill Still Outweighs Robotics
<p>The rise of artificial intelligence in medicine is reshaping how orthopedic surgeons diagnose, plan, and deliver care. From robotics in the operating room to AI-driven diagnostics and bone segmentation tools, orthopedic innovation is advancing rapidly. Yet, adoption in everyday surgical practice has been more measured. For example, in 2022, robot-assisted technology accounted for 11.6% of total knee arthroplasty procedures in the U.S. —a more than six-fold increase since 2017, but still a fraction of overall cases.</p><p>So what’s the real future of orthopedics? Are AI and robotics set to transform surgery in the next decade—or will human skill...
