About
Kayhan Turan is a rising leader in orthopaedic surgery, whose research is redefining precision in joint replacement. His primary focus lies in the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus conventional manual techniques in total knee and hip arthroplasty. Turan’s most impactful work, a 2023 study with 23 citations, demonstrates that robotic-assisted restricted kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) significantly improves coronal alignment over manual methods, though without notable short-term clinical differences. This finding challenges surgeons to weigh technical precision against patient-reported outcomes. He further advanced the field by pioneering the use of patient-specific cartilage thickness measurements in robot-assisted TKA, a novel approach that personalizes alignment and soft-tissue balance. His investigations extend beyond mechanics, uniquely examining how surgical technique influences postoperative pain, anxiety, and sleep quality—a holistic perspective on recovery. Turan’s work on acetabular cup orientation in robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty, considering surgeon handedness, adds critical nuance to implant positioning. With a growing body of evidence, Turan is shaping the future of arthroplasty by rigorously testing the real-world benefits of robotic assistance, making his research essential for orthopaedic surgeons and trainees seeking to optimize patient outcomes through technology.
