About
J. Hassenpflug is an orthopedic researcher whose work has focused primarily on the advancement of total hip arthroplasty, with a particular emphasis on comparing robotic-assisted and conventional surgical techniques for cementless hip endoprosthesis implantation. Working at the intersection of surgical precision and implant technology, Hassenpflug has made meaningful contributions to understanding how dimensional accuracy in femoral cavity preparation influences prosthetic outcomes — a critical concern for long-term implant stability and patient recovery. His most influential work, published in 2004 and accumulating 31 citations, systematically evaluated the CASPAR robotic surgical system against manual implantation methods, revealing important insights into how computer-assisted techniques can improve placement accuracy. Complementary studies examined the primary rotational stability of various prosthesis stems — including Osteolock, CBC, and Excia — under both robotic and manual conditions, garnering 12 citations and helping establish a biomechanical rationale for robotic adoption in orthopedic surgery. A prospective six-year follow-up study further demonstrated sustained clinical and radiological benefits of robot-assisted implantation. Hassenpflug's body of work has been instrumental in building the evidence base that underpins modern computer-assisted orthopedic surgery practices.
