Benedetta Pompa

About

Benedetta Pompa is a leading researcher in orthopedic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing knee arthroplasty through robotic-assisted technologies. Her work critically evaluates the efficacy of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (R-UKA) compared to conventional manual techniques. In her highly cited 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis (60 citations), Pompa demonstrated that robotic-assisted mechanically aligned TKA does not yield superior clinical or radiological outcomes over conventional TKA, challenging prevailing assumptions in the field. Conversely, her 2024 meta-analysis (24 citations) revealed that R-UKA significantly improves functional outcomes, reduces complications, and lowers revision rates compared to manual UKA. These contributions provide nuanced, evidence-based guidance for surgical decision-making, highlighting where robotic assistance offers tangible benefits and where it may not. Pompa’s rigorous analyses have shaped contemporary orthopedic practice, offering clarity on the role of robotics in knee surgery. Her work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to optimize patient outcomes through technology.
