About
Henry Nwankwo is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the clinical and cost effectiveness of robotic-assisted joint replacement, with a particular focus on hip arthroplasty. His major contribution is the design and leadership of the landmark RACER-Hip trial, the first UK-based randomised controlled trial to rigorously compare robotic-arm assisted total hip replacement against conventional surgery. This study protocol, already cited 5 times since its 2023 publication, addresses a critical gap in evidence by evaluating whether the added precision of robotic systems justifies their significantly higher costs. Nwankwo’s work is pivotal for surgeons, hospital administrators, and policymakers who must weigh improved surgical accuracy against financial sustainability. Beyond this trial, his research agenda encompasses surgical outcomes, health economics, and the translation of innovative technology into routine clinical practice. By generating high-quality, real-world data, Nwankwo is helping to define the future standard of care in hip replacement—ensuring that technological advances deliver tangible benefits for patients and healthcare systems alike.
