Objective:
To summarize the computer assisted navigation and robotics in the classification of knee surgery, and the development, surgical indications and contraindication, effectiveness, and the research progress of computer assisted navigation and robotics in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).
Methods:
The related literature on computer assisted navigation and robotics in UKA was extensively reviewed, summarized, and analyzed.
Results:
Recently, satisfactory results have been achieved in UKA for the treatment of single compartmental knee osteoarthritis. With the rapid development of computer navigation and robotic technology gradually combined with clinical practice, the great precision and accuracy of implant have been improved in computer navigation and robotics in UKA surgery. Postoperative function is well recovered, meanwhile, prosthesis survival can be significantly increased.
Conclusion:
Computer assisted navigation and robotics in UKA can greatly improve the accuracy of the implant when compared with traditional UKA. The early effectiveness is satisfactory, but the long-term effectiveness still needs to be further observed.

Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
