About
Joseph Pagkalos is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the precision, safety, and clinical adoption of robotic technology in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His major contributions include landmark comparative studies that quantify surgical accuracy, such as his 2024 paper comparing the Mako and ROSA robotic systems, which has already garnered 21 citations. He has also demonstrated that the ROSA robotic-arm system reliably restores critical anatomical landmarks—joint line height, patella height, and posterior condylar offset—a finding with 13 citations that directly impacts surgical planning and patient outcomes. Beyond technical accuracy, Pagkalos has advanced the field by analyzing radiation exposure across popular robotic platforms (8 citations) and by investigating the factors that influence orthopaedic trainees’ adoption of robotic surgery, as highlighted in his clinical survey. His work bridges the gap between engineering precision and practical surgical implementation, making him a key voice in the ongoing evolution of computer-assisted orthopaedics.
