About

Todd P. Pierce is an orthopedic surgery researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic technology and joint replacement surgery, with a particular focus on total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Pierce has made significant contributions to advancing the understanding and adoption of robotic-assisted surgical systems, exploring how these technologies improve biomechanical reconstruction, implant positioning, and long-term patient outcomes. His foundational 2015 papers on robot-assisted THA and robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty have each garnered over 70 citations, establishing him as an early and influential voice in the field during a pivotal period of technological development. These works addressed critical challenges including micromotion at bone-implant interfaces, osseointegration, and the emergence of semi-active haptic robotic systems. More recently, Pierce has expanded his research lens to incorporate the patient perspective, with qualitative studies examining how individuals perceive robotic THA and TKA — an underexplored but increasingly important dimension of surgical innovation. Together, his body of work reflects a career dedicated to bridging technical surgical advancement with meaningful patient-centered outcomes, making him a valuable contributor to the evolving landscape of modern orthopedic surgery.
