About

Dr. Alice Montagna is a rising leader in orthopaedic surgery, whose research is redefining the standards for robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Her work centers on the critical interplay between surgical alignment strategies and patient outcomes, challenging long-held biomechanical dogmas. Dr. Montagna’s most influential work demonstrates that robotic functional alignment (FA) preserves the native joint line (CPAK) more effectively than mechanical alignment (MA), while achieving equivalent patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at five-year follow-up—a finding with over 8 citations that is reshaping surgical practice. She has further advanced the field by proving that FA in TKA minimizes detrimental impact on ankle alignment, highlighting the importance of preserving the MPTA and LDFA for holistic lower-limb health. Her comprehensive update on managing valgus knee deformities in the robotics era provides crucial guidance for one of arthroplasty’s most challenging scenarios. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Montagna is establishing herself as a key voice in the movement toward personalized, robotic-assisted joint replacement that prioritizes both implant longevity and whole-limb function.
