About
Dr. Ana Nigues is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision in knee arthroplasty, particularly through the integration of robotic-assisted technologies. Her major contributions lie in improving component sizing accuracy in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), a procedure where even slight over- or under-sizing can compromise patient outcomes. In her highly cited 2021 study, Dr. Nigues demonstrated that image-based robotic-assisted systems significantly outperform both image-free robotic and conventional techniques in achieving ideal implant sizing. This work, which has garnered 30 citations, addresses a critical challenge in UKA—navigating anatomical variants and limited surgical exposure to optimize fit. Her findings have direct implications for reducing revision rates and enhancing long-term joint function. Dr. Nigues’ research bridges the gap between cutting-edge robotics and practical surgical outcomes, making her a key voice in the evolution of personalized, data-driven orthopedic care. Her ongoing investigations continue to shape how surgeons approach minimally invasive joint replacement, solidifying her reputation as a pioneer in precision arthroplasty.
