About
Volker Stueber is a leading figure in orthopedic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). His seminal 2009 work on the perioperative management of UKA using the MAKO robotic arm system (MAKOplasty) has garnered 58 citations, establishing foundational protocols for this minimally invasive procedure. Stueber’s major contributions lie in refining surgical indications and techniques for partial knee replacement, particularly emphasizing the importance of precise mechanical axis alignment—limiting varus to under 10 degrees and valgus to under 5 degrees—alongside an intact anterior cruciate ligament and absence of femorotibial subluxation. By systematically defining these criteria, he has helped improve patient selection and outcomes, reducing complications and enhancing implant longevity. His work bridges the gap between traditional arthroplasty and cutting-edge robotics, offering surgeons a replicable framework for achieving consistent results. Stueber’s research remains highly influential for students and clinicians exploring the intersection of technology and joint preservation, underscoring his role in advancing precision in orthopedic practice.
