Abstract
The methods and problems associated with traditional total knee arthroplasty surgery and the development and advantages of computer-assisted surgery (CAS) are discussed in this article. In the next decade, CAS products have the potential to transform as many as 25% of all orthopedic surgical procedures from techniques that largely depend on line of sight and traditional instruments to techniques that use integrated surgical instruments and computer technology. This technology could revolutionize orthopedic surgery, the lives of patients, and the work of perioperative staff members during the next decade.
