About
Fabrizio Matassi is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing joint arthroplasty through robotic and navigated technologies. His primary research areas include total knee arthroplasty in complex deformities, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and precision in hip replacement. Matassi’s major contributions lie in demonstrating how robotic assistance and accelerometer-based navigation improve surgical accuracy and reproducibility, particularly for challenging cases like extra-articular deformities and for surgeons with varying experience levels. His 2019 study on navigated total knee arthroplasty for extra-articular deformity, cited 37 times, established a reliable method for restoring mechanical alignment. He also showed that robotic-assisted UKA reduces component positioning differences between high- and low-volume surgeons (17 citations), addressing a key barrier to wider adoption. More recently, he has investigated the precision of simplified robotic workflows in hip arthroplasty and the reproducibility of robotic knee measurements. His work on comparable outcomes in octogenarians undergoing robotic UKA highlights his commitment to expanding surgical access for older patients. Matassi’s research is shaping the evidence base for robotic and navigated techniques in joint replacement.
