RoboOrthoClub is a professional information project about modern robotic systems in orthopaedics and joint replacement. We separate operating principles, verifiable capabilities and research findings from marketing claims.
Robotic systems
Five platforms with different approaches to imaging, planning and tool control.

We compare verifiable differences in source data, planning and tool function—not a “best robot”.
| System | Source data | Tool function | MVP scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAKO | CT-based 3D | Robotic-arm haptic boundaries | TKA, PKA, THA |
| CORI | Imageless | Handheld robotic burr | TKA, PKA |
| CUVIS | CT-based 3D | Active robotic resection under surgeon control | TKA |
| ROSA | Imageless / image-based | Cutting-guide positioning | TKA, PKA |
| VELYS | Image-free | Robotic saw-plane guidance | TKA, UKA |
How robotic surgery works
The robot is a surgeon-controlled tool. The workflow combines imaging, planning, registration, intraoperative assessment, robotic guidance and final verification.

Evidence
Research is assessed separately for technical accuracy, clinical outcomes, complications and follow-up duration.
