About
Ryan Cheng is a leading researcher in orthopaedic surgery, specializing in the precision and cost-effectiveness of computer-assisted joint arthroplasty. His work focuses on comparing robotic-assisted, navigation-guided, and manual techniques for total knee and hip arthroplasty. Cheng’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) achieves higher alignment precision than handheld navigation, as shown in his 2023 study (22 citations), and that it is associated with the use of thinner polyethylene liners, potentially reducing wear and improving implant longevity (2024, 6 citations). He also pioneered research on implant waste reduction, revealing that robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty significantly lowers waste rates compared to manual methods (2024, 2 citations). These findings have direct implications for surgical practice and healthcare economics, highlighting the value of advanced technology in improving outcomes and reducing costs. Cheng’s work is highly cited and influential, shaping the adoption of robotic systems in orthopaedics. His research is essential reading for surgeons and students interested in the intersection of technology, precision, and sustainability in joint replacement.
