About

Dr. Amal Khoury is a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced robotics, precision surgical alignment, and innovative educational outreach. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted trauma surgery, lower limb alignment in total knee arthroplasty, and the application of aerospace engineering principles to orthopaedic practice. Dr. Khoury’s most significant contribution is her seminal 2019 study on robotic-assisted fixation of sacral fractures (11 citations), which demonstrated that robotic systems—previously used for pedicle screws—can safely and reproducibly navigate the complex pelvic anatomy, reducing the steep learning curve and risk of neurovascular injury. In 2025, she further advanced the field with her work on the reproducibility of the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification using a tibia-first restricted inverse kinematic alignment approach (5 citations), offering surgeons a more personalized, phenotype-driven strategy for knee replacement. Notably, Dr. Khoury is also the author of the widely-read 2016 essay “O3DC: The Curiosity in Orthopaedics” (4 citations), which draws a compelling parallel between NASA’s Mars rover mission and the challenges of orthopaedic innovation. Her work bridges engineering, anatomy, and surgical technique, establishing her as a leading voice in the next generation of data-driven, technology-enhanced orthopaedics.
