About
Daniel A. McKearney is a leading researcher in orthopedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on total ankle arthroplasty and foot and ankle kinematics. His work critically examines how surgical alignment of prosthetic components influences postoperative outcomes, particularly in total ankle replacement. In his highly cited 2019 study, "Altered Range of Motion and Plantar Pressure in Anterior and Posterior Malaligned Total Ankle Arthroplasty," McKearney quantified how malpositioning of the talar component—specifically anterior and posterior malalignment—disrupts foot bone kinematics and alters plantar pressure distribution. This research has accumulated 19 citations, underscoring its significance in guiding surgeons toward more precise implant placement to reduce postoperative pain and improve range of motion. McKearney’s contributions bridge the gap between surgical technique and patient recovery, offering evidence-based insights that directly impact clinical practice. His work is essential reading for orthopedic surgeons, biomedical engineers, and researchers striving to optimize outcomes in joint replacement surgery.
