About

Charles P. Hannon is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work is at the forefront of technological innovation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His primary research focuses on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus manual surgical techniques, with a particular emphasis on achieving precise sagittal alignment and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Hannon’s most cited work, “Technology in Total Knee Arthroplasty in 2023” (33 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving surgical landscape, establishing him as a key voice in the field. His recent studies demonstrate that computed tomography-based robotics outperform manual instruments in hitting alignment targets, and he has pioneered techniques for robotic-assisted conversion of failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty to TKA—a challenging procedure complicated by asymmetric bone loss. By leveraging daily remote patient monitoring, Dr. Hannon is also investigating whether robotic assistance translates into faster recovery. With a growing body of high-impact work, including multiple 2025 publications, his research is shaping the next generation of precision joint replacement.
