About
Jeffrey Lutton is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), particularly through the use of robotic-assisted surgical techniques. His primary research areas include conversion arthroplasty—the challenging transition from unicompartmental or patellofemoral replacements to total knee systems—and the optimization of surgical outcomes through technology. Lutton’s most cited study (13 citations) found no significant difference in range of motion, component positioning, or complication rates between robotic-assisted and manual TKA following prior unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, challenging assumptions about the superiority of robotic methods in complex revisions. He has also demonstrated that robotic assistance may allow for smaller polyethylene liner sizes during hardware removal procedures, a finding with implications for bone preservation. His work on converting patellofemoral arthroplasty to robotic-assisted TKA further underscores his focus on improving outcomes in revision settings. By systematically comparing robotic and manual approaches, Lutton provides evidence-based guidance for surgeons navigating technically demanding knee arthroplasty cases, helping to refine best practices in joint reconstruction.
