ABSTRACT
Computer-assisted surgery has become commonplace in orthopedic surgery. The number of applications grows steadily as does the number of patients benefiting from these new techniques. The hearty debates heard when these techniques were first introduced have now given way to more evidence-based evaluation. Our objective here is to continue this approach by presenting our six-year experience with navigation. We will not discuss the theoretical background of these technologies nor attempt to present an exhaustive review of the literature but rather focus attention on surgical skills acquired by a group of surgeons working in a wide range of areas. The common point is that all have now integrated computer-assisted navigation into their routine surgical practices including a) first-intention and revision knee arthroplasty; b) hip arthroplasty; c) anterior cruciate ligament surgery; d) proximal tibial osteotomy; e) shoulder arthroplasty. We will terminate this round table with a presentation of future technological advances and propose our advice for an increasingly widespread use of these new techniques.
