Abstract
Trying to predict the future of a quickly developing domain such as navigational surgery always bares a certain risk. One easily faces the danger of wrongly estimating current trends and developments, and within in a few years being proven as wrong as Thomas Watson, the former chairman of IBM. In 1943, Mr. Watson was convinced that ≫there is a potential for maybe five computers worldwide≪. Nevertheless, we can look back at almost 10 years of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery and identify a number of weak points which still exist. We can observe numerous concepts and ideas that have recently been developed for, or are currently being introduced into CAOS. These observations surely suggest certain directions for speculation about what the future of CAOS may be. Conjuring up science fiction will definitely not be the goal of this chapter, since such forecasts often turn out to remain ≫visions≪ even after 10 or 20 years, but rather an overview shall be provided that estimates which developments may become reality within the next years and will be usable in the OR on a routine basis.
