About

Claudia Di Bella is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on surgical precision in knee arthroplasty and oncological bone tumor resections. Her major contributions focus on improving alignment measurement techniques and enhancing surgical outcomes through advanced technologies. In her highly cited 2023 study on the arithmetic hip knee angle (aHKA), she demonstrated the reliability of radiographic measurements compared to computed tomography, providing a simpler, cost-effective tool for pre-operative planning in total knee arthroplasty—a finding with direct implications for alternative alignment strategies. This work, with 25 citations, underscores her impact on evidence-based surgical practice. Additionally, her systematic review comparing patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and surgical navigation (SN) in bone tumor resections (20 citations) offers critical guidance for achieving wide oncological margins while preserving bone stock, balancing functional and oncological priorities. Di Bella’s research bridges the gap between innovative surgical tools and practical clinical application, making her a key voice in orthopedic oncology and joint reconstruction. Her work is essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking to optimize patient outcomes through precision medicine.
