About

Ilya Bendich is a leading orthopedic surgeon-researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of joint replacement surgery, with a particular focus on the precision and safety of total hip and knee arthroplasty. His primary research areas center on the comparative effectiveness of robotic assistance and computer navigation versus manual surgical techniques. Bendich’s major contributions include landmark studies demonstrating that robotic assistance for posterior approach total hip arthroplasty is associated with a significantly lower risk of revision for dislocation, a finding that has garnered 74 citations. He has also provided critical insights into national utilization trends, showing a dramatic rise in technology-assisted total knee arthroplasty from 2010 to 2018, while analyzing 90-day complication rates. His work further explores the nuanced relationship between patient anatomy and outcomes, revealing that surgical site fat thickness is a more predictive factor for wound complications than body mass index. With a growing body of highly cited research, Bendich is establishing himself as a key voice in evidence-based adoption of surgical technology, directly informing how surgeons optimize implant longevity and patient recovery.
