About
Elvire Servien is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty, with a particular focus on functional alignment and anterior compartment restoration. Her major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty enables faster return to sport (77 citations) and that restoring the anterior compartment after total knee arthroplasty significantly improves functional outcomes and range of motion (27 citations). She has also pioneered techniques for intraoperative patellar tracking assessment and established safety protocols for femoral pin insertion in robotic surgery (970 consecutive cases). Her research consistently shows that functional alignment achieves comparable outcomes across diverse patient populations—varus and valgus knees, different age groups, and genders—while challenging traditional alignment dogma by demonstrating that tibial implant varus >3° does not adversely affect outcomes. Notably, her work on patellofemoral alignment safe zones and cementless versus cemented fixation provides crucial evidence for personalized surgical decision-making. With over 190 citations across her most influential papers, Servien is shaping the future of personalized, robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty.
