About

Anne-Sophie Cools is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through the integration of robotic technology. Her key research areas include surgical robotics, component alignment, and the learning curves associated with novel surgical systems. Cools’s most cited study (2020, 123 citations) provides critical insights into the adoption of robot-assisted TKA, demonstrating that while surgical time initially increases due to a learning curve, component alignment, limb alignment, and gap balancing remain consistent from the outset. This finding challenges concerns about compromised outcomes during early adoption and has helped guide the safe implementation of robotics in orthopaedic practice. Her work is highly influential among surgeons and researchers evaluating the balance between technological innovation and clinical efficiency. Cools’s research underscores her commitment to evidence-based improvements in joint replacement surgery, making her a notable voice in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics and surgical robotics.
