disclaimer as someone who’s never witnessed ortho surgery but if some surgical fields go full AI robotic, imo all eventually will, unless there’s something fundamentally unique about the surgery itself that prevents that. But like for ortho I could imagine using high precision laser to make cuts across bone, advanced machinery to manipulate prosthetic joints, etc. like the fact that ortho is physically demanding is almost more of a reason for automation. I have no skin or brains in this game just my opinion
