The artificial intelligence (AI) in orthopedic surgery market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.87 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for personalized orthopedic treatments, rising investments in surgical robotics, expansion of ai-based clinical decision support systems, growing focus on outcome-based healthcare, increasing integration of ai with electronic health records. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of AI-assisted surgical planning tools, rising use of computer vision in orthopedic procedures, growing integration of robotic surgical systems, expansion of predictive analytics for patient outcomes, enhanced precision in implant placement.

The rising incidence of musculoskeletal disorders is expected to drive the growth of the artificial intelligence (AI) in orthopedic surgery market going forward. Musculoskeletal disorders encompass injuries or conditions affecting the muscles, bones, joints, tendons, or ligaments, often resulting in pain and restricted movement. The increase in musculoskeletal disorders is fueled by sedentary lifestyles, as prolonged inactivity weakens muscles and places strain on joints. AI in orthopedics aids in managing these disorders by providing accurate and early diagnoses through advanced image analysis and data pattern recognition. It also supports personalized treatment planning and outcome prediction, thereby improving patient care and recovery. For instance, in January 2024, according to the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, a UK-based government department, 18.4% of people aged 16 and older reported having a long-term musculoskeletal condition in 2023, up from 17.6% in 2022. Therefore, the rising prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders is driving the growth of the AI in orthopedic surgery market.

Key companies in the AI orthopedic surgery market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as AI-based surgical guidance systems, to improve surgical precision and enhance patient outcomes. AI-based surgical guidance systems utilize real-time data, imaging, and predictive algorithms to assist surgeons with accurate navigation and decision-making during procedures. This improves surgical accuracy and reduces the risk of errors. For instance, in April 2025, Proprio, a US-based provider of AI-powered surgical technology, launched the Paradigm platform, which received FDA clearance. The platform enables real-time, 3D dynamic measurement and visualization of anatomy during surgery, allowing surgeons to assess and measure outcomes instantly without intraoperative X-rays or CT scans, reducing delays and radiation exposure. This technology is poised to transform procedures, particularly in spine surgery, by delivering continuous, data-driven guidance and improving patient results.

In March 2025, moveUP.care, a Belgium-based digital orthopedics company, acquired Deep Structure.ai for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to integrate Deep Structure’s advanced AI technologies into moveUP’s platform, enhancing efficiency and personalization in orthopedic practices in the U.S. and internationally. Deep Structure.ai is a US-based digital health company leveraging AI for advanced surgical planning and personalized rehabilitation in orthopedic care.
