Where this comes from

Abstract

➢ Romanian orthopaedic practice has demonstrated a growing uptake of digital infrastructure, including the implementation of robotic-assisted surgical workflows and emerging applications of artificial intelligence.➢ Romania ranks among the European countries with the highest hospital bed capacity per capita, supporting the provision of sustained care for elderly patients, including those with fragility fractures and oncologic orthopaedic conditions and those undergoing complex revision surgeries.➢ The Romanian Arthroplasty Register was modernized and relaunched in 2025 as an initiative to align with other long-standing national European counterparts.
