About
Anton Khlopas is an orthopedic surgery researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and adoption of robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty. His research focuses primarily on robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA) and total hip arthroplasty (RATHA), examining clinical outcomes, surgical precision, patient satisfaction, and the practical challenges of implementing emerging surgical technologies. Khlopas has made notable contributions by rigorously evaluating how robotic assistance improves outcomes compared to conventional manual techniques. His influential 2017 studies on the learning curve and patient satisfaction outcomes in RATKA — each accumulating 193 citations — helped establish foundational knowledge for surgeons transitioning to robotic platforms. His research demonstrating soft tissue protection during robotic TKA and successful coronal correction in severe deformity cases further underscored the clinical versatility and safety of these systems. His work on robotic total hip arthroplasty similarly highlighted improvements in component positioning accuracy and functional outcomes. Collectively, his ten most-cited papers have garnered over 1,200 citations, reflecting substantial influence within the orthopedic surgery community. Khlopas's body of work has been instrumental in building the evidence base that continues to guide surgeons, institutions, and patients in making informed decisions about robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery.
