About
Dr. Gabriele Bazzan is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on robotic-arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the optimization of functional alignment techniques. His major contributions lie in demonstrating that robotic assistance can reliably restore the joint line and that post-operative changes in the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) class do not negatively impact functional outcomes—a finding that challenges traditional alignment dogma. Notably, his research has shown no significant clinical difference between cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized implants when using functional alignment, and that femoral component rotational alignment varies naturally across knee phenotypes without compromising results. With his most-cited paper (49 citations) establishing the efficacy of tibia-based functional alignment, and a growing body of work (over 100 total citations) that is shaping modern TKA practice, Dr. Bazzan’s studies provide surgeons with evidence-based confidence to prioritize soft-tissue balance over rigid mechanical targets, ultimately improving patient outcomes in robotic arthroplasty.
