About
Carmen E. Quatman is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of geriatric trauma, surgical outcomes, and health policy. She is best known for advancing the understanding of fragility fractures in older adults and for critically evaluating the economic and clinical implications of emerging surgical technologies. Her highly cited 2021 study on robotic total knee arthroplasty challenged prevailing assumptions by revealing a missed opportunity for cost savings within Bundled Payment for Care Improvement initiatives—a finding that has shaped discussions on value-based care in orthopedics. With over 16 citations for this single paper, Quatman’s research has influenced how surgeons and policymakers weigh the benefits of robotic assistance against rising healthcare costs. Beyond her publications, she has been a vocal advocate for interdisciplinary collaboration, co-developing clinical pathways that integrate geriatric medicine with orthopedic surgery to improve outcomes for elderly patients. Her work continues to bridge the gap between technical innovation and practical, patient-centered care, making her a respected voice in both academic and clinical settings.
