About

Professor Richard de Steiger is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping joint replacement surgery, with a particular focus on the knee. His core research areas center on the clinical outcomes of arthroplasty, specifically comparing robotic-assisted techniques to conventional methods. Through rigorous meta-analyses and registry-based studies, de Steiger has made major contributions to understanding the efficacy and survivorship of robotic surgery in both total and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. His landmark 2020 meta-analysis, cited over 119 times, demonstrated that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty is comparable to conventional surgery, providing crucial evidence for the field. Furthermore, his work using national joint registry data—a study with 88 citations—revealed critical insights into the revision rates of unicompartmental knee replacements. Beyond comparative studies, de Steiger has pioneered novel surgical techniques for complex procedures, such as robotic-assisted revision total knee arthroplasty. His research directly informs surgical decision-making and implant design, making him a pivotal figure in evidence-based orthopaedics and a trusted voice for surgeons and trainees navigating the future of joint replacement.
