Background Computer‐assisted orthopaedic surgery systems have great potential, but no review has focused on computer‐assisted surgery systems for the spine, hip, and knee. Methods A systematic search was performed in Web of Science and PubMed. We searched the literature on computer‐assisted orthopaedic surgery systems from 2008 to the present and focused on three aspects of systems: training, planning, and intraoperative navigation. Results and discussion In this review study, we reviewed 34 surgical training systems, 31 surgical planning systems, and 41 surgical navigation systems. The functions and characteristics of the surgical systems were compared and analysed, and the current concerns about and the impact of the surgical systems on doctors and surgery were clarified. Conclusion Computer‐assisted orthopaedic surgery systems are still in the development stage. Future surgical training systems should include synthetic models with patient anatomy. Surgical planning systems with automatic planning should be developed, and surgical navigation systems with multimodal fusion, robotic assistance and imaging should be developed.
