About
Colleen M. Wixted is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of advanced surgical technology and patient outcomes in joint arthroplasty. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted and navigation-assisted total hip and knee arthroplasty, with a particular emphasis on quantifying recovery timelines and improving surgical precision. Dr. Wixted’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) enables patients to achieve a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in functional outcomes significantly faster than conventional techniques—a finding with direct implications for postoperative rehabilitation protocols. She has also pioneered the use of artificial intelligence to predict coronal alignment in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty, showcasing how machine learning can enhance surgical accuracy. Her most-cited work, published in 2025, has already garnered attention for its rigorous retrospective cohort comparison of RA-THA, NA-THA, and conventional methods. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Wixted is establishing herself as a key voice in evidence-based orthopaedics, helping to define the clinical value of emerging technologies in joint replacement surgery.
