About
Elizabeth B. Gausden is a rising leader in orthopaedic surgery, whose research bridges the frontiers of robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty, ergonomics in surgery, and perioperative outcomes. Her work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of how technology can improve both patient safety and surgeon well-being. Notably, her systematic review on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among orthopaedic surgeons (24 citations) has highlighted a critical, evidence-based need for improved ergonomics, directly addressing the physical toll of the profession. In the realm of hip and knee replacement, Dr. Gausden has made pivotal contributions: her study on robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty demonstrated a dramatic 6.5-fold reduction in fluoroscopic radiation exposure, and her subsequent work has shown low rates of dislocation and reoperation following robotic-assisted THA for femoral neck fractures. She has also refined surgical technique by analyzing posterior tibial slope in computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty. With over 90 citations across her most-cited papers, Dr. Gausden’s research is shaping safer, more precise surgical practices and advocating for the health of the surgeons who perform them.
