About
Robin Moreels is a leading researcher in orthopedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and lower-limb alignment. His work centers on understanding how surgical techniques and anatomical restoration influence patient outcomes and joint mechanics. A major contribution is his investigation of inverse kinematic alignment in TKA, where his 2023 study demonstrated that restoring the native tibial joint line obliquity does not increase knee adduction moments during gait—a critical finding that challenges traditional alignment paradigms and supports more personalized surgical approaches. This work has garnered 27 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on clinical practice. Moreels also made a significant methodological contribution in 2024, showing a strong correlation between standing long-leg radiographs and CT scans for measuring coronal knee alignment (19 citations). This finding validates the use of simpler, lower-radiation imaging for preoperative planning in robotic-arm-assisted TKA, potentially streamlining surgical workflows. Through these studies, Moreels is advancing the evidence base for patient-specific alignment, offering surgeons and researchers clearer guidance on optimizing knee replacement outcomes.
