About
Andrea De Fazio is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through personalized, image-based robotic techniques. His primary research areas include functional knee positioning (FKP), surgical alignment strategies for complex deformities, and the integration of robotic technology to optimize patient outcomes. De Fazio’s major contribution lies in extending FKP—a method that reconstructs three-dimensional alignment by balancing soft tissue and bony structures—to patients with valgus knee deformity, a challenging and understudied population. His landmark 2025 paper, "Functional knee positioning in patients with valgus deformity undergoing image-based robotic total knee arthroplasty: Surgical technique," has already garnered 21 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on surgical practice. By detailing a reproducible, personalized approach for valgus knees, De Fazio has addressed a critical gap in the literature, offering surgeons a refined technique to improve joint stability and function. His work bridges the gap between traditional alignment principles and modern robotic precision, marking him as a rising authority in arthroplasty innovation.
