Robot-assisted shoulder arthroplasty is emerging, offering precision and data benefits but facing challenges like cost and learning curves. Alternative technologies may be favored in some settings.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic surgery
Robotics in medicine
Surgical navigation

Background:

Robotic assistance is established in hip and knee arthroplasty.
Robot-assisted shoulder arthroplasty is an emerging field with developing technologies.
Current systems like Rosa and upcoming Mako offer distinct features for shoulder procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current state and potential of robot-assisted shoulder arthroplasty.
To compare features of available robotic systems for shoulder surgery.
To outline theoretical benefits and disadvantages of this technology.

Main Methods:

Review of commercially available robotic systems (Rosa, Mako) for shoulder arthroplasty.
Analysis of system features, including collaborative operation, bone preparation, and haptic feedback.

Evaluation of theoretical advantages and disadvantages.

Main Results:

Rosa system acts collaboratively, positioning guides and reamers with surgeon input.
Mako system features an effector for bone preparation with haptic boundaries.
Theoretical benefits include enhanced accuracy, data acquisition, and potential for minimally invasive approaches.

Conclusions:

Robot-assisted shoulder arthroplasty presents significant potential benefits but also drawbacks like cost and space requirements.
The adoption of robotic systems may be influenced by economic and logistical factors.
Alternative technologies like mixed reality navigation might be competitive, particularly in ambulatory settings.
