About
T. Hooper is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through surgical innovation and rigorous clinical trials. Their primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, kinematic alignment, and computer-assisted techniques in joint replacement. Hooper’s major contribution is the design and leadership of the landmark RASKAL study, a national registry-nested, multicentre, 2×2 factorial randomised trial that systematically evaluates the individual and combined effects of robotic-assisted surgery and kinematic alignment against computer-assisted surgery and mechanical alignment. This protocol paper, published in 2022, has already garnered 18 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. By addressing critical uncertainties in TKA, Hooper’s work directly informs surgical decision-making and has the potential to improve clinical, functional, and survivorship outcomes for thousands of patients. Their research bridges the gap between emerging technologies and evidence-based practice, making Hooper a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern knee replacement surgery.
