About
Dr. Helen Bradley is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the clinical and economic evaluation of robotic-assisted arthroplasty, with a particular focus on total hip replacement (THR). Her major contribution lies in designing rigorous, real-world trials that assess whether the added cost of robotic-arm systems translates into measurable improvements in surgical precision and patient outcomes. As the principal investigator of the landmark RACER-Hip study, she has pioneered the first UK-based randomised controlled trial to directly compare robotic-assisted THR against conventional surgery, addressing a critical gap in evidence-based orthopaedics. Her protocol paper, published in 2023, has already garnered 5 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on the field. Beyond this, Dr. Bradley is recognized for bridging the gap between surgical innovation and health economics, ensuring that new technologies are scrutinized for both clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Her work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians navigating the rapidly expanding landscape of robotic surgery, as it provides the foundational evidence needed to guide adoption and policy in joint replacement.
