About
Roger Emery is a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of robotics, 3D printing, and shoulder arthroplasty. His primary contributions lie in developing novel, intraoperative technologies that manufacture patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in real time, dramatically improving the accuracy of glenoid component placement. In his landmark 2021 cadaveric study, Emery introduced a robotic system capable of rapidly producing bespoke guides during surgery, achieving a level of precision previously unattainable with traditional methods. This work, cited 21 times, represents a paradigm shift from pre-operative planning to adaptive, in-the-moment customization. His earlier 2016 study laid the mechanical foundation for this approach, demonstrating how mechatronic systems could eliminate the delays and costs associated with external PSI fabrication. Emery’s research directly addresses the critical challenge of implant malposition—a leading cause of arthroplasty failure—by merging robotic automation with patient-specific anatomy. His achievements have positioned him at the forefront of personalized orthopaedics, offering a scalable solution that could transform joint replacement surgery. For students and researchers, Emery’s work exemplifies how engineering innovation can solve longstanding clinical problems, making surgery safer, more efficient, and more reproducible.
