About
Dr. Dorien Leirs is a leading researcher in orthopaedic surgery, with a specialized focus on robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty and limb alignment. Her work centers on improving surgical precision and outcomes in joint replacement, particularly through the use of MAKO robotic-assisted technology. In her most cited study, "Correlations in radiographic and MAKO Total Knee Robotic-Assisted Surgery intraoperative limb coronal alignment" (2022), Dr. Leirs prospectively demonstrated that intraoperative coronal alignment during robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty strongly correlates with postoperative radiographic alignment, validating the accuracy of robotic systems in achieving planned limb corrections. This contribution has been cited 4 times, underscoring its relevance to the growing field of computer-navigated surgery. Dr. Leirs’ research provides critical evidence for the reliability of robotic assistance in real-time surgical decision-making, helping to reduce alignment errors and improve patient outcomes. Her work is particularly valuable for orthopaedic surgeons and biomedical engineers seeking to refine robotic protocols and enhance the reproducibility of total knee arthroplasty.
