About

Gloria Coden is an emerging leader in the field of robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty, with a focused research portfolio that addresses the most complex challenges in hip and knee reconstruction. Her work centers on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes through advanced technology, particularly for patients with challenging anatomies. Coden’s major contributions include demonstrating how robotic-arm assistance can overcome the inherent complexities of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with developmental hip dysplasia (DDH), a condition marked by acetabular bone deficiency and limb length discrepancy. Her 2021 paper on this topic, with 13 citations, is a foundational reference for surgeons navigating these difficult cases. She has also pioneered the integration of preoperative pelvic tilt into surgical planning, showing that this consideration reliably improves standing acetabular component position—a critical insight for preventing dislocation. With over 20 combined citations across her most-cited works, Coden’s research is shaping modern arthroplasty protocols. Her recent work on robot-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty (2024) further extends her expertise into knee preservation, offering a minimally invasive solution for isolated arthritis. For students and researchers, Coden’s career exemplifies how robotics can transform orthopedic surgery, making previously high-risk procedures safer and more reproducible.
