About
Patrick Meere is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of technology-driven innovation in joint arthroplasty, with a particular focus on total hip and total knee replacement surgery. His research has consistently examined how emerging technologies — including robotic-assisted surgery, computer-assisted navigation, and patient-specific instrumentation — can improve surgical precision, patient safety, and clinical outcomes. Meere's highly cited 2017 investigation into navigation and robotics in knee arthroplasty demonstrated that computer-assisted navigation yields measurably improved component alignment, helping to establish an evidence base for adopting these tools in routine practice. His 2016 work challenging the reliability of rigid patient positioning in total hip arthroplasty highlighted a critical source of surgical variability, influencing how surgeons think about intraoperative technique. More recent studies have explored the cost-effectiveness of robotic platforms and documented fewer dislocations and superior short-term patient-reported outcomes when robotic or fluoroscopic guidance is employed. With a growing body of work accumulating over 75 citations, Meere's contributions offer both practicing surgeons and students a rigorous, data-driven roadmap for understanding when and why advanced surgical technologies translate into meaningful benefits for patients.
