v4.1 Fusion X
Industry 5.0 in Trauma and Orthopaedics focuses on combining human clinical judgement with advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, smart implants, wearables and extended reality. These tools can support diagnosis, surgical planning, patient-specific implant design, operative precision, postoperative monitoring and rehabilitation. Unlike Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 places greater emphasis on human-centred care, personalisation, sustainability and resilient healthcare systems. Emerging concepts such as digital twins and sensor-enabled implants may further individualise treatment, although many remain under development. Successful adoption depends on clinical validation, cost-effectiveness, cybersecurity, ethical oversight and maintaining the surgeon as the final decision-maker.
