About

Chetan Khatri is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of robotic-assisted arthroplasty. His major contributions center on generating high-quality evidence to determine whether robotic-arm systems meaningfully improve outcomes in total hip and knee replacement compared to conventional surgery. Khatri is the driving force behind the landmark RACER trials—the UK Robotic Arthroplasty Clinical and Cost Effectiveness Randomised Controlled Trials for knees (RACER-Knee) and hips (RACER-Hip)—which are among the most rigorous studies in the field. His 2024 paper on robotic trials in arthroplasty surgery (22 citations) synthesizes the rationale for adopting these technologies, while his 2023 protocols (17 and 5 citations, respectively) outline the methodology for evaluating surgical precision, patient satisfaction, and added costs. By addressing the critical gap in robust, randomized evidence, Khatri’s work directly informs surgical decision-making and healthcare policy. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of joint replacement, balancing technological promise with real-world effectiveness.
