This surge can be attributed to two primary factors. Firstly, the aging demographic of the population plays a significant role. Secondly, the substantial enhancements in surgical outcomes have contributed to the growing prevalence of these procedures. Over the past two decades, surgeons have incorporated robotic assistance into joint replacement surgeries. During this period, a substantial body of evidence has accumulated, endorsing the effectiveness of robotic joint replacement procedures in achieving favourable clinical and radiographic results. The continuous evolution of technology has led to the development of various robotic systems, each distinct in its features and underlying principles. These distinctions encompass the extent of robotic involvement in surgery, the compatibility of the robotic system with different implant types, and the specific imaging modalities required during pre-operative preparations. This review aims to provide an overview of the current literature pertaining to the diverse range of robotic systems in use. It includes a comparative analysis of clinical and radiographic outcomes achieved through robotic replacements and concludes by discussing the necessary adaptations and considerations in light of these findings.
