Popis: Introduction Augmented Reality (AR) provides a state-of-art yet simplified and comprehensive approach for medical education, surgical planning and patient management. The initial descriptions of incorporation of AR in orthopedics were given around the year 2000. Recent studies have shown smooth transition of AR technology from bone phantom models, animal and cadaver studies into clinical trials. However, there are still a few technological hurdles faced by orthopedic surgeons. Our aim is to systematically review clinical studies for advantages and disadvantages provided by AR assistance in orthopedic surgeries. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the current literature was performed to find the state of knowledge and applicability of evolving AR in Orthopedic surgery. A systematic search of the PubMed, Google Scholar and SCOPUS databases was performed by two independent reviewers up-to November 2020. Recent news-updates till December 2020 were also added to the cumulative collected database. The systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items on Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: Initially 329 relevant studies (103 in Google Scholar, 145 in PubMed and 81 in SCOPUS) were identified in all databases. After screening for relevant studies on the basis of our inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 10 publications were included in the review as full-text articles to which we added 3 recent news updates relevant to AR in orthopedics. The studies were classified according to classification based on AR display technology. Conclusion: We found this system of classification, easy-to-use and easy-to-comprehend from orthopedic view. It helps in better understanding the evolution of AR technology and its implementation in orthopedics. With the continuously evolving AR technology and preparedness of integrating it in current traditional system, AR will assist orthopedic surgeons in all subspecialties to endeavor complex interventions with enhanced safety, accuracy and lower radiological exposure.
