About

Samik Banerjee is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work is transforming joint replacement surgery through the precision of robotics. His primary research focuses on advancing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by integrating robotic assistance to improve surgical outcomes. Banerjee’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic systems enable more accurate biomechanical reconstruction and optimal implant fit, which are critical for long-term implant survivorship and stable osseointegration. His seminal papers, “Robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty” (73 citations) and “Robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty” (72 citations), are foundational references in the field. In his work on TKA, he has highlighted the evolution of robotic systems, particularly the shift toward semi-active haptic platforms that provide surgeons with real-time tactile feedback, enhancing safety and precision. Banerjee’s research has been instrumental in showing how these technologies reduce micromotion at bone-implant interfaces, directly addressing a key challenge in cementless implant stability. His highly cited studies have shaped modern orthopedic practice, making him a pivotal figure in the adoption of robotic assistance for joint arthroplasty.
