Objective  To summarize the computer assisted navigation and robotics in the classification of knee surgery, and the development, surgical indications and contraindication, effectiveness, and the research progress of computer assisted navigation and robotics in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Methods  The related literature on computer assisted navigation and robotics in UKA was extensively reviewed, summarized, and analyzed. Results  Recently, satisfactory results have been achieved in UKA for the treatment of single compartmental knee osteoarthritis. With the rapid development of computer navigation and robotic technology gradually combined with clinical practice, the great precision and accuracy of implant have been improved in computer navigation and robotics in UKA surgery. Postoperative function is well recovered, meanwhile, prosthesis survival can be significantly increased. Conclusion  Computer assisted navigation and robotics in UKA can greatly improve the accuracy of the implant when compared with traditional UKA. The early effectiveness is satisfactory, but the long-term effectiveness still needs to be further observed.
