About
Chad A. Krueger is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of surgical ergonomics, physician wellness, and robotic-assisted arthroplasty. His research critically examines how robotic surgical systems impact not only patient outcomes but also the physical and mental health of the surgeon. Krueger’s most-cited studies reveal a nuanced perspective: while robotic assistance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can reduce physician stress and strain compared to conventional methods, his work also shows that handheld robotic devices for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may paradoxically increase surgeon physiological stress. He has also pioneered the use of time-driven activity-based cost analysis to compare robotic-assisted versus manual UKA, providing valuable economic insights. With over 44 citations on his leading paper, Krueger’s research is shaping how surgical teams evaluate the true costs and benefits of adopting robotic technology. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in optimizing surgical performance, preventing work-related injuries, and making evidence-based decisions about robotic surgery in orthopedics.
