Keisuke Uemura

About

Dr. Keisuke Uemura is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA), with a particular focus on improving surgical outcomes for patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). His major contributions center on evaluating the precision of modern surgical technologies, including the Mako robotic-arm system and CT-based navigation. In his highly cited 2021 study (67 citations), Dr. Uemura demonstrated that the Mako system significantly improves the accuracy of cup placement in THA for DDH compared to traditional navigation. His more recent 2024 work (15 citations) extends this analysis to femoral component anteversion, investigating how robotic assistance enhances the alignment of cemented femoral components. By systematically quantifying the advantages of robotic systems over conventional methods, Dr. Uemura has provided crucial evidence supporting the adoption of these technologies in complex hip arthroplasty. His research directly addresses the technical challenges of restoring joint biomechanics in deformed anatomy, offering surgeons data-driven guidance to reduce implant malposition and improve patient outcomes.
