About

Dr. Alexandra Petrakos is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision in total hip arthroplasty (THA), particularly through robotic-assisted technologies. Her most-cited study, "The Learning Curve Associated with Robotic-Assisted Total Hip Arthroplasty" (2018, 52 citations), provides critical insights into the adoption and mastery of robotic systems in joint replacement surgery. This work addresses a pressing clinical challenge—malpositioned acetabular components even among experienced surgeons—by systematically evaluating the procedural learning curve. Her findings have helped establish benchmarks for surgical training and implementation, directly influencing how hospitals integrate robotic assistance to improve patient outcomes. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Petrakos contributes to evidence-based practices that bridge the gap between emerging technology and clinical application. Her research is widely referenced by orthopedic surgeons and trainees seeking to optimize surgical workflows, reduce complications, and enhance implant longevity. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Petrakos continues to shape the future of arthroplasty through rigorous, outcome-driven studies that prioritize both surgeon education and patient safety.
