About
Graham Buchan has emerged as a leading voice in the rapidly evolving field of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA), with a focused research program examining the clinical, economic, and technical dimensions of fluoroscopy-based robotic surgical systems. His work addresses one of orthopedic surgery's most consequential challenges: achieving precise acetabular cup placement to reduce implant failure and improve patient outcomes. Buchan's most cited contribution demonstrates that fluoroscopy-based RA-THA systems yield significantly greater accuracy than manual techniques, a finding that has resonated widely across the surgical community with 23 citations since its 2023 publication. His subsequent investigations have systematically expanded this foundation, examining the learning curve surgeons face when adopting such systems, their cost-effectiveness through rigorous Markov modeling, and their particular benefit for high-risk populations such as obese patients. Notably, he has also addressed practical concerns around radiation exposure and perioperative opioid usage, demonstrating equivalent radiation profiles and improved narcotic patterns with robotic assistance. With nearly 100 cumulative citations across ten papers published primarily in 2023–2024, Buchan's prolific output has rapidly established him as an authoritative researcher whose evidence-based approach is actively shaping the adoption and refinement of next-generation robotic orthopedic technologies.
