While urology holds the largest current revenue, the Orthopedics application segment is projected to register the fastest growth within the China Robot Assisted Surgical Systems sector. This explosive expansion is being fueled by the rapid integration of robotic systems into high-volume procedures such as Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA), and complex spine surgeries. The precision offered by specialized orthopedic robots (e.g., Mako, ROSA) is critical for achieving optimal mechanical alignment and implant placement.

In orthopedic procedures, even minor errors in component positioning can severely impact implant longevity and patient function. Robotic systems mitigate this risk by utilizing pre-operative CT-based planning and real-time intraoperative guidance to achieve sub-millimeter accuracy during bone cutting and implant placement, leading to fewer complications and better long-term outcomes for patients. Furthermore, the use of robotic guidance for pedicle screw placement in spinal fusion surgery significantly enhances safety by reducing the risk of screw misplacement and neurological damage. This proven reduction in variability and improvement in objective outcomes makes the orthopedic segment a central area of future investment and growth. Refer to the China Robot Assisted Surgical Systems report for details on growth rates.
