About
Alan Brett is a leading researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics and medical imaging, whose work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and quantitative disease assessment. His key research areas include robotic-assisted arthroplasty, radiation exposure reduction, and objective osteoarthritis severity measurement. Brett’s major contributions are twofold: first, he demonstrated that robotic assistance in direct anterior total hip arthroplasty eliminates the need for intraoperative fluoroscopy, thereby reducing radiation exposure to both patients and surgical teams—a finding with immediate clinical safety implications. Second, he pioneered the use of 3D bone shape analysis from CT scans as a more objective and reliable measure of osteoarthritis severity than traditional radiographs, a method validated in the landmark IMI-APPROACH study. With over 5 citations across his most influential works, Brett’s impact is particularly notable for challenging long-standing clinical practices. His 2025 paper on robotic hip arthroplasty is already shaping perioperative protocols, while his 2024 osteoarthritis work offers a pathway to more precise patient selection for total knee arthroplasty. Brett’s research exemplifies how advanced imaging and robotics can transform orthopaedic care.
