About
Angus MacLean is a leading orthopaedic surgery researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the understanding and clinical adoption of robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty. His research focuses primarily on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), with particular emphasis on how robotic-arm assistance improves surgical precision, patient outcomes, and long-term cost-effectiveness compared to conventional techniques. MacLean's most influential contribution, his 2016 study demonstrating improved component positioning accuracy with robotic-assisted UKA (300 citations), established a foundational evidence base for this emerging technology. He has since conducted one of the most rigorous longitudinal randomized controlled trials in the field, tracking patients from two-year to five-year and now ten-year outcomes — a remarkably sustained research commitment. His 2018 gait analysis work adds a nuanced biomechanical dimension rarely seen in surgical outcome studies, while his economic analyses demonstrate robotic UKA's cost-effectiveness over time, a critical consideration for healthcare systems. His bi-unicompartmental arthroplasty research further expands surgical options for patients with bicompartmental disease. With over 660 cumulative citations across his portfolio, MacLean's work offers students and clinicians compelling evidence that robotic technology meaningfully advances patient care in knee surgery.
