About

Eric Lepkowsky is a rising orthopedic researcher whose work centers on the intersection of surgical robotics and patient outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgical techniques, patient satisfaction metrics, and the biomechanical safety of implant placement. Lepkowsky’s most impactful contribution is his prospective two-year study on patient expectations and satisfaction in robotic-assisted TKA, which has garnered 43 citations and provides critical longitudinal data on how preoperative expectations align with postoperative outcomes. He has also advanced procedural safety through his detailed analysis of femoral pin placement trajectories, identifying safe zones to minimize neurovascular risks during robotic TKA—a technical contribution with direct clinical implications. Additionally, his meta-analysis comparing conventional versus robotic/computer-assisted TKA synthesizes evidence on patient-reported outcome measures, addressing ongoing controversies in the field. While early in his career, Lepkowsky’s work is already shaping conversations around precision and patient-centered care in joint replacement, making him a notable voice in the evolution of orthopedic robotics.
