About
Andrew Davies is a leading researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics, with a focused expertise in knee stability and soft-tissue function following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His work systematically quantifies the role of medial and lateral structures in maintaining joint stability across different implant designs, including cruciate-retaining, posterior-stabilised, and constrained condylar TKA. Davies’s landmark 2015 study (34 citations) established the superficial medial collateral ligament as the primary medial restraint after TKA, providing critical guidance for surgeons on implant selection and partial soft-tissue release. His subsequent investigations into lateral soft-tissue contributions (11 citations) and medial reconstructions in constrained designs (10 citations) have further clarified how individual ligaments and tendons compensate for implant-specific constraints. By using robotic cadaveric testing to isolate these contributions, Davies has delivered actionable, evidence-based insights that directly inform surgical technique and implant design. His research is essential reading for orthopaedic surgeons and biomedical engineers seeking to reduce instability—a leading cause of TKA revision—and improve long-term patient outcomes.
