About

Breana Siljander is an emerging leader in orthopaedic surgery research, with a focused expertise in total joint arthroplasty and surgical efficiency. Her work critically examines the integration of advanced technology into clinical practice, particularly the learning curve and cost-effectiveness of robotic-arm assisted total knee and hip arthroplasty. Siljander’s 2024 study, "Operative Time Learning Curve for an Image-Free Robotic Arm Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty," has already garnered 11 citations for its rigorous cumulative sum analysis, providing essential data on how surgical teams can safely adopt robotic systems without compromising operating room efficiency or patient outcomes. She further demonstrates her impact on healthcare economics in her 2023 paper, "Projected Savings Associated with Lowering the Risk of Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision Due to Dislocation in Patients with Spinopelvic Pathology," which quantifies the substantial financial benefits of targeted surgical strategies. By linking spinopelvic pathology to increased revision risk, Siljander’s work offers actionable insights for reducing complications and healthcare costs. Her research is vital for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers navigating the balance between innovation, safety, and value in joint replacement surgery.
