About
Enrico Bertugli is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through robotic-assisted techniques and precision alignment strategies. His primary research areas include functional alignment in robotic arm-assisted TKA, coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification, and the optimization of postoperative functional outcomes. Bertugli’s most notable contribution is his 2024 study, which demonstrated that changes in CPAK class following robotic-assisted TKA with functional alignment do not adversely affect patient functional outcomes—a finding that challenges conventional assumptions about alignment precision. This work, already cited 34 times, has significant implications for surgical planning and implant longevity. By showing that CPAK class shifts are common and clinically benign, Bertugli helps refine surgical targets and reduce unnecessary corrections. His research bridges the gap between advanced imaging, robotic technology, and real-world patient recovery, making him a key voice in the evolution of personalized, data-driven knee replacement. Bertugli’s studies are essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to understand how modern alignment philosophies can improve outcomes while embracing natural anatomical variability.
