About

Dr. Josephine Fox is a leading clinical researcher in orthopaedic surgery, specializing in the rigorous evaluation of robotic-assisted joint replacement technologies. Her primary research areas focus on the clinical and cost-effectiveness of robotic arthroplasty, particularly for knee replacement, and the design of high-quality randomized controlled trials to inform surgical practice. Dr. Fox’s major contribution is her leadership of the landmark RACER-knee trial, a pivotal study that directly addresses the critical evidence gap surrounding robotic-arm systems in total knee arthroplasty. By establishing a robust protocol to compare robotic-assisted surgery against conventional techniques, her work is shaping how healthcare systems worldwide assess the true value of these expensive technologies. Her most-cited paper, the RACER-knee study protocol (17 citations), serves as a foundational blueprint for evidence-based orthopaedic research, demonstrating her commitment to methodological rigor. Dr. Fox’s research is instrumental in moving the field beyond technological hype toward data-driven decisions that prioritize patient outcomes and cost-efficiency, making her a vital voice in the future of joint replacement surgery.
