About
Heiko Graichen is a leading orthopaedic researcher at the forefront of digital transformation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His work centers on integrating artificial intelligence, robotics, and simulation technologies to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes. Graichen’s major contributions include demonstrating how AI can overcome the limitations of traditional navigation systems, enabling robots to deliver meaningful clinical impact in TKA. His 2022 paper on AI and robotics in TKA surgery, with 36 citations, established a foundational framework for this emerging field. He has also advanced the comparative understanding of image-based versus imageless robotic-assisted TKA, a topic explored in his 2024 work that has already garnered 21 citations. Beyond technical innovation, Graichen is a pioneer in surgical education, developing the Knee-CAT digital simulation tool, which has been shown to improve alignment training efficiency and surgeon confidence. His 2025 paper on three years of TKA simulator training highlights the lasting clinical impact of these educational tools. With a growing citation record and a clear focus on translating digital innovation into practical surgical improvements, Graichen is shaping the next generation of data-driven, patient-specific arthroplasty.
