Abstract
Appropriate implant alignment is a major goal of total joint arthroplasty. Obtaining appropriate alignment typically involves making intraoperative decisions in response to visual and tactile feedback. Integrated computer-based systems provide the option of continuous real-time feedback and offer the potential to decrease intraoperative errors while enhancing the surgical learning experience. Computer-assisted orthopedic surgery helps the surgeon perform both intraoperative and postoperative technical audits of implant alignment. Improving implant alignment can be correlated with improved long-term clinical outcomes. However, despite emerging data, many surgeons remain wary of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery.
