Gary G. Poehling

About

Gary G. Poehling is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work has substantially advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty. His research has focused primarily on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), patellofemoral arthroplasty, and the application of robotic surgical systems to improve precision and patient outcomes in partial knee replacement procedures. Poehling's most impactful contributions center on demonstrating the accuracy and clinical viability of robotic-assisted UKA. His landmark 2013 study on achieving accurate ligament balancing through robotic assistance has garnered 105 citations, while his 2015 work challenging the long-held contraindication of obesity in UKA candidates earned 100 citations — both reshaping clinical decision-making and expanding patient eligibility criteria. His 2014 accuracy assessment of robotic-assisted component placement, drawing on over 200 patients, further validated the technology's precision and has been cited 54 times. Beyond UKA, Poehling has explored bicompartmental arthroplasty, patellofemoral dysplasia, and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques, reflecting a broad command of reconstructive knee surgery. His sustained body of work has helped establish robotic assistance as a reliable standard in partial knee arthroplasty, making his research essential reading for orthopedic surgeons and trainees navigating evolving surgical technologies.
