About
Hiroshi Inui is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through precise biomechanical assessment. His primary contributions focus on quantifying and predicting joint laxity—the critical balance between stability and mobility in artificial knees. In his most cited study (2021, 13 citations), Inui systematically compared distraction force and varus–valgus force methods for evaluating joint laxity, establishing a foundational framework for intraoperative soft tissue management. He further advanced the field by pioneering comparative analyses of tensioner devices, navigation systems, and robotic evaluation tools (2025, 2 citations), demonstrating how technology can enhance surgical precision. His recent investigation into discrepancies between predicted and actual soft tissue balance in robot-assisted TKA (2025, 1 citation) highlights a crucial gap in current surgical planning, pushing the field toward more personalized, data-driven approaches. By bridging engineering principles with clinical practice, Inui’s work directly impacts patient outcomes, reducing complications like instability or stiffness after knee replacement. His research is essential reading for orthopedic surgeons and biomedical engineers seeking to refine TKA techniques through evidence-based laxity assessment.
