A hospital is evaluating the purchase of a robotic-assisted surgery system for joint arthroplasty. The orthopaedic department is reviewing the evidence for computer navigation and robotic systems in total knee and hip arthroplasty, including their impact on alignment accuracy, clinical outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. Regarding computer navigation and robotics in arthroplasty:
