Abstract

Computer assisted and Robotic technology in orthopaedic surgery is still not commonplace compared to un-assisted, conventional orthopaedic surgery. It may be considered somewhat surprising therefore, at a time of incredible technological progress that the computer still struggles nowadays to make its way in all orthopaedic theatres of the world.[1, 2] In June 2016, Dalton et al.[3] reviewed all patents and papers published between 1980 and 2014 related to knee surgery and sorted them into four clusters of innovations, which could be used to link patents and publications: Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA), Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI), Navigation and Robotics. Three of these are part of the CAOS technology “family”. Since 2004, the ratio between patents and publications increased from approximately 1: 10 in 2004 to almost 1: 3 in 2014 showing industry-driven innovation on technology introduction in the field of knee arthroplasty.
