About

Dr. Brent A. Lanting is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in adult reconstructive knee surgery, with a particular focus on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the integration of advanced technologies. His work bridges the gap between surgical precision and patient outcomes, exploring how robotic systems, navigation, and wearable sensors can transform joint replacement. A key contribution is his pioneering use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) to objectively measure knee flexion angles, demonstrating high repeatability in a 2018 study (30 citations) that has become foundational for wearable-based clinical assessments. Dr. Lanting also developed a virtual joint motion simulator that accurately predicts the biomechanical effects of femoral component malalignment during TKA (2023, 9 citations), offering surgeons a powerful tool for preoperative planning. His forward-looking research on patient acceptance of robots in the orthopedic operating room (2025, 3 citations) addresses critical human factors in technology adoption. As a frequent contributor to the field, he authored the 2024 "What’s New in Adult Reconstructive Knee Surgery" editorial, synthesizing the year’s most impactful studies. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating engineering innovations into clinical practice, Dr. Lanting is shaping the future of precision knee surgery.
