About
Kaitlin M. Carroll is a leading researcher in orthopaedic surgery, specializing in the application of robotic-assisted technology for total hip and knee arthroplasty. Her work focuses on enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes through advanced intraoperative tools. Carroll’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) correlates with more accurate postoperative implant positioning, as evidenced by her highly cited 2018 study (102 citations). She has also explored the use of robotics in complex cases, such as developmental dysplasia of the hip, and critically appraised the value of technology in arthroplasty, questioning whether these innovations improve overall patient care and cost-effectiveness. Her research extends to total knee arthroplasty, where she has investigated the accuracy and clinical success of robotic-assisted techniques, as well as unicompartmental knee replacements. With a portfolio of papers that have garnered significant attention—including studies on rigid patient positioning and patellofemoral replacement—Carroll has established herself as a key voice in the integration of robotics into orthopaedic practice, helping to shape the future of joint replacement surgery.
