About
Carlo Theus-Steinmann is a rising orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in knee arthroplasty, particularly through kinematic alignment and robotic-assisted techniques. His research addresses one of the most persistent challenges in total knee arthroplasty (TKA)—postoperative instability—by investigating how maintaining the physiological lateral flexion gap during kinematically aligned TKA can improve joint stability without compromising clinical results. In a 2024 study that has already garnered 5 citations, he demonstrated that this approach does not negatively impact patient outcomes at one-year follow-up, offering surgeons a refined strategy for gap balancing. Theus-Steinmann has also made notable contributions to comparing recovery trajectories between different surgical modalities. His 2025 study, which has quickly attracted attention, showed that patients undergoing robotic arm-assisted medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA) regained their preoperative activity levels two weeks earlier than those receiving robotic-assisted kinematically aligned TKA, as measured by objective step-count data. This work underscores the potential of partial knee replacement for faster rehabilitation. Through these investigations, Theus-Steinmann is helping to define evidence-based benchmarks for alignment philosophy and recovery expectations in modern knee surgery.
