About

Edouard Auvinet is a leading researcher at the intersection of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery and augmented reality (AR), whose work is reshaping how surgeons plan and perform joint replacements. His primary contributions lie in developing intelligent navigation systems that enhance surgical precision, particularly for hip resurfacing and knee arthroplasty. Auvinet’s most influential work, a proof-of-concept study on AR-based navigation for hip resurfacing (85 citations), demonstrated how overlaying digital guidance onto the surgical field can dramatically improve implant placement accuracy and reduce outlier rates—a critical factor for patient recovery. He has also pioneered novel registration techniques, such as a smart registration assistant for joint replacement, which streamlines the critical step of aligning preoperative plans with the patient’s anatomy without requiring limb immobilization. Beyond technical innovation, Auvinet provides essential frameworks for the field, notably his work on evaluating the safe and effective introduction of robotics in the operating theatre (38 citations). By addressing both the technological and procedural challenges of computer-assisted surgery, Auvinet is helping to translate complex robotic systems into practical, life-changing tools for orthopaedic patients.
