About
Kimona Issa is an emerging orthopedic researcher whose work centers on patient perspectives in robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty, with a particular focus on total hip and total knee replacements. Her major contributions lie in qualitative research that bridges the gap between advanced surgical technology and patient experience—an area often overlooked in the predominantly quantitative orthopedic literature. In her 2024 study on robotic total hip arthroplasty, Issa explored how patients perceive the benefits and limitations of robotic assistance, addressing a critical need as robotic technology becomes more prevalent in the nearly 0.8% of U.S. adults undergoing THA. Her companion study on robotic total knee arthroplasty similarly investigates patient attitudes toward preoperative planning and surgical precision. While her citation counts are currently modest—2 and 1 citations respectively—these works represent foundational qualitative insights that can inform shared decision-making and improve patient education. Issa’s research is notable for its patient-centered approach, offering a humanistic counterpoint to technical outcome studies, and her work is poised to grow in influence as robotic arthroplasty expands.
