Abstract: Hand and wrist injuries are common clinically. Traditional open surgery is likely to damage the complex and delicate ligaments and soft tissues, resulting in functional impairments. Due to small bone volumes, fine anatomical structures of the hand and wrist, and high accuracy required in the surgery which is difficult to master, minimally invasive surgery needs a long learning curve. However, with the advancements in computer navigation, orthopaedic surgery robots, and three-dimensional (3D) printing, computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery has been increasingly utilized for hand and wrist injuries. This article reviews the clinical application of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery for hand and wrist injuries in recent decades.
