About
Anastasia Gazgalis is an emerging leader in orthopedic surgery research, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) and patient outcomes. Her work critically evaluates whether advanced surgical technology translates into tangible benefits for patients. In her highly cited 2021 study, she demonstrated that RA-TKA leads to similar 24-month WOMAC scores as conventional TKA, while also investigating perioperative outcomes and complications. This finding, with 55 citations, provides essential evidence for surgeons weighing the cost and complexity of robotic systems against clinical results. Her second major contribution, also from 2021, showed that robot-assisted surgery improves compartment balancing throughout the range of motion—a key determinant of TKA success. With 46 citations, this work highlights how precision technology can enhance soft-tissue balance, potentially reducing revision rates. Gazgalis’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and real-world patient recovery, offering data-driven insights that guide clinical decision-making. Her work is particularly valuable for orthopedic residents and researchers exploring the role of robotics in joint replacement, as she provides a balanced view of both the promise and limitations of these advanced techniques.
