About
Andrea Ensini is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on advancing knee arthroplasty through robotic-arm-assisted surgery. Her primary research areas include unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty, with a particular emphasis on component alignment, soft-tissue balancing, and functional outcomes. Ensini’s most cited paper (49 citations) demonstrates that robotic-arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty performed with a tibia-based functional alignment successfully restores the joint line, a critical factor for postoperative stability and patient satisfaction. Her influential 2019 multicenter study (27 citations) established a direct link between intraoperative component positioning and short-term clinical outcomes in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, providing surgeons with evidence-based guidance for optimizing implant placement. Ensini has also investigated lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and the management of varus deformities, consistently leveraging robotic technology to enhance surgical precision. Her work has been instrumental in demonstrating how robotic assistance can improve accuracy in component placement while maintaining physiologic ligament tension, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. With a growing body of research that bridges surgical technique and clinical results, Ensini continues to shape the future of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery.
