» Computer-assisted technologies that are used in arthroplasty include navigation, image-derived instrumentation (IDI), and robotics.» Computer-assisted navigation improves accuracy and allows for real-time assessment of component positioning and soft-tissue tension.» It is not clear whether the implementation of these technologies improves the clinical outcome of surgery.» High cost and time demands have prevented the global implementation of computer-assisted technologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
