About

C. Michael Goplen is a leading researcher in orthopedic surgery, with a focus on robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His major contributions center on evaluating the accuracy and clinical outcomes of novel robotic systems, particularly the ROSA Robotic System, for joint replacement procedures. Goplen’s work provides critical evidence that robotic-arm-assisted TKA improves the precision of component positioning and bony resections, which can enhance surgical outcomes and patient recovery. His most cited paper, “Accuracy and Outcomes of a Novel Cut-Block Positioning Robotic-Arm Assisted System for Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” (2024, 20 citations), synthesizes data to confirm the system’s reliability. Another influential study, “High in-vivo accuracy of a novel robotic-arm-assisted system for total knee arthroplasty” (2024, 12 citations), demonstrates real-world surgical precision, reinforcing the value of robotics in orthopedics. Goplen’s research is pivotal for surgeons adopting advanced technologies, offering robust evidence to guide clinical decision-making. His work has been widely cited by peers, underscoring its impact on improving TKA accuracy and patient care. Through systematic reviews and in-vivo analyses, Goplen continues to shape the future of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery.
