About

Joshua P. Rainey is an emerging leader in orthopedic surgery, with a focused research agenda on the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and joint arthroplasty. His work primarily explores how advanced technologies are reshaping hip and knee replacement, from intraoperative execution to implant design. Rainey’s most cited paper, “The Growing Role of Artificial Intelligence and Technology in Hip and Knee Arthroplasty” (2024, 6 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving technological landscape, highlighting how AI and robotic assistance are moving from novelty to standard practice. He has also contributed to the clinical evaluation of novel implants, such as the short metaphyseal filling collared femoral stem used in robotic-assisted direct anterior approach (DAA) hip surgery, demonstrating early outcomes with this combination. In “The Perspectives of Robotic Surgeons” (2024), Rainey engages with the provocative concept of autonomous surgery, examining how AI might gradually assume greater intraoperative roles. Though early in his career, his work signals a deep commitment to defining the future of surgical practice—one where data-driven, robotic precision becomes the norm. For students and researchers, Rainey’s bibliography offers a clear window into the next generation of orthopedic innovation.
