Dennis J. Scotti

About

Dennis J. Scotti is a leading researcher in orthopedic surgery, with a focused expertise in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus manual surgical techniques. His work critically evaluates the economic and clinical outcomes of these procedures, aiming to optimize patient care and healthcare resource utilization. His most cited paper, a 2022 study published in *The Journal of Arthroplasty*, provides a pivotal 90-day episode-of-care analysis comparing robotic-arm assisted TKA (RATKA) to manual TKA. This research uniquely incorporated the costs of preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans, offering a comprehensive view of index costs and postoperative outcomes. With 9 citations, this study has become a key reference for surgeons and hospital administrators debating the value proposition of robotic technology. Scotti’s contributions are particularly notable for their rigorous, real-world data analysis, helping to clarify the economic trade-offs in modern joint replacement. His work continues to shape evidence-based decision-making in orthopedic practice.
