“…"ROBODOC", the first commercially successful surgical robot [12], was developed by Taylor and Kazanzides et al in IBM and commercialised by Integrated Surgical Systems Inc. "ROBODOC", clinically evaluated in 1992, performed total hip replacement. It was initially based on a modified SCARA robot, and its operation involved acquiring a CT scan of the patient anatomy and subsequently developing a surgical plan to mill the location that receives the hip replacement implant.…”

“…robots being "ROBODOC" [12], a robot for precise hip replacement, developed by Taylor et al [13], and "PROBOT", a robot for prostatectomy, developed by Davies et al [14]. Since then, surgical robots have advanced significantly, becoming safer, more acceptable, and more versatile, resulting in a multi-billion industry led by the exemplary success story of "da Vinci" from Intuitive Surgical Inc. [15].…”

Abstract-Within only a few decades from its initial introduction, the field of surgical robotics has evolved into a dynamic and rapidly growing research area with increasing clinical uptake worldwide. Initially introduced for stereotaxic neurosurgery, surgical robots are now involved in an increasing number of procedures, demonstrating their practical clinical potential whilst propelling further advances in surgical innovations. Emerging platforms are also able to perform complex interventions through only a single entry incision, and navigate through natural anatomical pathways in a tethered or wireless fashion. New devices facilitate superhuman dexterity and enable the performance of surgical steps that are otherwise impossible. They also allow seamless integration of micro-imaging techniques at the cellular level, significantly expanding the capabilities of surgeons. This paper provides an overview of the significant achievements in surgical robotics and identifies the current trends and future research directions of the field in making surgical robots safer, smaller, and smarter.

“…Surgical robotics is a promising avenue to improve medical treatment and is expected to play a major role in the operating room of the future1. In 1992, orthopaedic surgery was one of the first medical fields to adopt surgical robotics2, the pioneer system being Robodoc3. Most orthopaedic procedures are arthritis‐related, including knee and hip replacement (arthroplasty).…”

“…It is safe and successful, designed to reduce human error using a five axis robotic arm with milling device. The first human hip surgery was performed by Robodoc in 1992 by Pransky et al [42]. The system contains Orthodoc, a pre-operative planning workstation, showing a 3D image of the bone [43].…”

This review presents current virtual reality based training simulators for hip, knee and other orthopaedic surgery, including elective and trauma surgical procedures. There have not been any reviews focussing on hip and knee orthopaedic simulators. A comparison of existing simulator features is provided to identify what is missing and what is required to improve upon current simulators. In total 11 total hip replacement pre-operative planning tools were analysed, plus 9 hip trauma fracture training simulators. Additionally 9 knee arthroscopy simulators and 8 other orthopaedic simulators were included for comparison. The findings are that for orthopaedic surgery simulators in general, there is increasing use of patient-specific virtual models which reduce the learning curve. Modelling is also being used for patient-specific implant design and manufacture. Simulators are being increasingly validated for assessment as well as training. There are very few training simulators available for hip replacement, yet more advanced virtual reality is being used for other procedures such as hip trauma and drilling. Training simulators for hip replacement and orthopaedic surgery in general lag behind other surgical procedures for which virtual reality has become more common. Further developments are required to bring hip replacement training simulation up to date with other procedures. This suggests there is a gap in the market for a new high fidelity hip replacement and resurfacing training simulator.
