About

Dr. Jacques Caton is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of advanced surgical technique and emerging technology. His primary focus is on robotic total hip arthroplasty, where he has made foundational contributions by systematically evaluating how robotic assistance can optimize implant positioning, reduce dislocation risk, and improve long-term functional outcomes. His landmark 2020 paper, “Current concepts in robotic total hip arthroplasty,” has garnered 56 citations and serves as a critical reference for surgeons adopting robotic systems. More recently, Dr. Caton has ventured into the ethical and philosophical dimensions of surgical innovation. In his provocative 2023 work, “Artificial intelligence and robots like us (surgeons) for people like you (patients),” he explores the moral and legal status of robotic systems and surgeons in the operating room, envisioning a new human–robot–surgery shared experience. This forward-thinking perspective has already attracted 15 citations and positions him as a thought leader in the responsible integration of AI into clinical practice. Dr. Caton’s work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of precision surgery and the evolving relationship between technology and patient care.
