About

Dr. Sarah Levitt is a rising leader in the field of orthopedic biomechanics, with a focused research program on the engineering and ergonomics of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Her work bridges the gap between surgical precision and human factors, aiming to improve both implant performance and surgeon well-being. Her most cited paper, "Ergonomics of Total Knee Arthroplasty" (2023, 13 citations), critically examines the physical demands placed on surgeons during TKA, highlighting how procedural design can reduce fatigue and error. This foundational study is complemented by her contributions in "Advancing Engineering of Total Knee Arthroplasty" (2023) and "Robotics Applications in Total Knee Arthroplasty" (2023), where she explores how robotic assistance and advanced materials can enhance surgical outcomes and implant longevity. Although early in her career, Dr. Levitt’s work is already shaping conversations around safer, more efficient surgical practices. Her interdisciplinary approach—combining mechanical engineering, ergonomics, and clinical application—positions her as a key voice in the next generation of orthopedic innovation, with a clear trajectory toward improving patient care and surgical ergonomics.
