Ameer M. Elbuluk

About

Dr. Ameer M. Elbuluk is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing precision and outcomes in joint replacement surgery, particularly total knee and hip arthroplasty. His primary research focuses on comparing surgical alignment techniques and improving preoperative planning. Dr. Elbuluk’s most cited work, a 2022 head-to-head comparison of kinematic versus mechanical alignment for total knee arthroplasty (99 citations), provides critical evidence on which approach yields superior functional outcomes, directly influencing surgical decision-making. He also made significant contributions to hip arthroplasty by demonstrating that 3D CT-based templating offers greater accuracy and precision than traditional 2D methods for predicting cup size (31 citations), a finding that helps reduce intraoperative errors and improve implant fit. Additionally, his work on the NAVIO robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty technique (2019) highlights his engagement with cutting-edge surgical technology. With a cumulative impact of over 130 citations, Dr. Elbuluk’s research is shaping modern orthopedic practice by providing data-driven insights that enhance surgical precision, reduce complications, and ultimately improve patient recovery and long-term joint function.
