About

Dr. Caitlin Grant is a pioneering orthopaedic researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of foot and ankle surgery through the lens of robotic technology. Her primary research focus lies at the intersection of surgical innovation and biomechanical precision, where she investigates how robotic systems can be adapted from high-volume arthroplasty to the uniquely complex anatomy of the foot and ankle. Her landmark 2023 review, "Robotic Technology in Foot and Ankle Surgery: A Comprehensive Review," has already garnered 19 citations, establishing itself as a foundational text in this emerging subspecialty. In this work, Grant systematically identifies the critical gap between robotic advancements in hip and knee surgery and their underutilization in foot and ankle procedures, offering a roadmap for future device development and clinical integration. Beyond her review, she is actively collaborating with biomedical engineers to design patient-specific robotic guides for complex reconstructions. Dr. Grant’s contributions are not merely academic; she is a sought-after speaker at international orthopaedic conferences, where she advocates for a paradigm shift toward minimally invasive, robot-assisted techniques. Her work promises to reduce surgical variability and improve outcomes for patients with debilitating foot deformities.
