About
Lindsey V. Ruderman is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), with a particular focus on restoring pre-arthritic coronal alignment to improve patient outcomes. Her major contributions demonstrate that preserving a patient’s native knee phenotype—rather than forcing a neutral alignment—leads to superior results in both medial and lateral UKA. In her 2023 study, she showed that restoration or relative overcorrection of pre-arthritic alignment yields improved functional outcomes, a finding supported by 28 citations. Her research on robotic-assisted techniques further underscores their precision, with a 2024 study reporting high implant survival and patient satisfaction at a mean 10-year follow-up (15 citations). Ruderman has also explored the clinical implications of alignment correction, including patellar incongruence and leg length changes, providing a comprehensive view of UKA biomechanics. Her work, cited over 85 times, is reshaping surgical planning by prioritizing individualized alignment over traditional mechanical goals, making her a key voice in modern knee arthroplasty.
