For patients with joint degeneration or sports injury, treatment planning depends on examination, X-rays or MRI, alignment, ligament condition, previous surgery and activity goals. Robotic replacement, conventional arthroplasty, arthroscopy, fracture fixation or non-operative care is selected according to the specific problem rather than used routinely for every patient.

Rehabilitation planning is part of the decision process, especially after replacement or sports surgery, because return to function depends on strength, range of motion and preoperative condition.
