About

Jacob A. Worden is a rising orthopedic researcher whose work centers on the adoption and impact of advanced surgical technologies in joint arthroplasty. His primary research focus is the utilization of technology-assisted navigation in knee replacement surgeries, particularly unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty. Worden’s most cited study, "Trends in Utilization of Technology-Assisted Navigation in Unicompartmental and Total Knee Arthroplasty Between 2009 and 2022," provides a critical longitudinal analysis of how computer-assisted navigation has evolved in clinical practice over more than a decade. This work highlights significant shifts in surgical trends, offering valuable insights for improving precision and patient outcomes in orthopedic procedures. Although early in his career, with his top paper accumulating 2 citations, Worden’s research addresses a timely and practical question—how technology is reshaping standard surgical workflows. His contributions are particularly relevant for surgeons and healthcare policymakers seeking evidence-based guidance on the integration of navigation systems. As a researcher committed to bridging the gap between innovation and clinical application, Worden’s work promises to inform future best practices in joint replacement surgery.
