About
Dr. Binyamin Finkel is a rising leader in orthopedic surgery and health services research, whose work is redefining the standard of care for joint replacement and spinal procedures. His primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted surgery versus conventional techniques, with a particular emphasis on total knee arthroplasty and lumbar fusion. Dr. Finkel’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) is associated with reduced complications and shorter hospital stays, a finding from his highly cited 2024 paper (51 citations) that has significant implications for patient recovery and healthcare costs. He has similarly shown that robotic-assisted single-level lumbar fusion surgery offers superior outcomes and expenditure profiles compared to conventional methods (24 citations). By leveraging large-scale national databases like the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, Dr. Finkel provides robust, real-world evidence that guides surgical decision-making and policy. His work is not only advancing the field of robotic orthopedics but also equipping surgeons and hospitals with the data needed to improve patient outcomes while managing economic pressures.
