Below are 8 technology based trends in the ortho industry this year.
1/ The rise of robotic surgery:
Robotic surgery is becoming increasingly popular in the orthopedic field, as it theoretically allows surgeons to perform procedures more precisely and with less invasiveness. This trend is expected to continue in 2023, as new generations of robotic surgical systems are developed with the help of better navigation, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
2/ Imaging, navigation, and AI tools:
Think of these as enablers for other orthopedic technologies.
These tools can be used to:
Improve the accuracy of diagnosis: Imaging tools, such as MRI and CT scans, can be used to visualize the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system in great detail. This information can be used to diagnose conditions and plan surgery.
Guide surgery: Navigation tools can be used to track the position of surgical instruments in real time. This helps surgeons to perform procedures more precisely and with less risk of complications.
Personalize treatment: AI tools can be used to analyze patient data and identify the best course of treatment for each individual. This can help to improve patient outcomes ...
