About

Jean-Pierre St Mart is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the transformative role of robotics in joint arthroplasty, particularly in total knee, unicompartmental knee, and total hip replacements. His major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) improves component positioning and reduces alignment outliers compared to traditional methods, while also critically evaluating the evolution from early active robotic systems—plagued by technical complications—to safer semi-active platforms like Mako. In unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), his research has provided crucial survivorship data, showing that robotic assistance may address historically high revision rates documented in national joint registries. With over 240 combined citations, his most influential paper, "The current state of robotics in total knee arthroplasty" (93 citations), serves as a definitive review for surgeons and trainees. St Mart’s early clinical series on the first 100 robotic UKA cases offers practical lessons for adoption, cementing his reputation as a key voice in evidence-based robotic orthopaedics. His work directly informs surgical decision-making and technology implementation in modern joint replacement.
