About
Ittai Shichman is an emerging leader in orthopaedic surgery, with a focused expertise in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the biomechanics of joint alignment. His research centers on refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly through the study of kinematic alignment strategies. Shichman’s major contributions include demonstrating that tibia-first restricted kinematic alignment (RIKA) achieves superior restoration of joint line obliquity compared to mechanical alignment, a finding critical for implant longevity and patient satisfaction. He has also pioneered work on how inverse kinematic alignment affects ankle joint alignment in varus knee deformities, expanding the understanding of lower limb biomechanics post-TKA. With a growing citation impact—his top papers accumulating over 25 citations in just two years—Shichman’s work is gaining rapid recognition. Notably, his studies on the reproducibility of the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification and the evaluation of novel robotic-assisted systems for TKA highlight his commitment to integrating advanced technology with evidence-based practice. Shichman’s research is shaping the future of personalized, alignment-driven knee replacement surgery.
