About

Hiroyasu Ikegami is a leading orthopedic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through robotic-assisted technology. His primary contributions center on improving surgical precision, particularly in correcting rotational alignment of prosthetic components—a critical factor for long-term implant success and patient mobility. His most-cited work (33 citations) demonstrates that robotic-assisted TKA significantly reduces rotational outliers of the tibial prosthesis, as verified by 3DCT measurements, offering a compelling evidence base for adopting robotic systems in complex knee surgeries. Ikegami also explores innovative applications of robotic TKA in challenging scenarios, such as treating distal femur fractures with concurrent lateral knee osteoarthritis, where traditional open reduction and internal fixation may pose risks for elderly patients. By documenting these cases, he provides surgical solutions that minimize complications and enhance recovery. His research, though early in its citation trajectory, is shaping modern orthopedic practice by merging precision engineering with patient-specific care. Ikegami’s work underscores a commitment to reducing surgical variability and improving outcomes, making him a notable contributor to the evolution of robotic orthopedics.
