About
Dr. Marc Bandi is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in knee arthroplasty, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). His primary research areas include the restoration of native knee kinematics, ligament balancing techniques, and the management of intraoperative complications. Dr. Bandi’s major contribution is the development and validation of the anatomo-functional implant positioning (AFIP) technique, which aims to restore physiological ligament balance by creating a symmetric gap in extension and an asymmetric gap in flexion. His landmark 2022 study (52 citations) demonstrated that this robotic-assisted approach not only restores native knee alignment and natural ligament patterns but also enables faster recovery at six months compared to traditional adjusted mechanical techniques. Additionally, Dr. Bandi has advanced the treatment of medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries during TKA through his biomechanical work on internal suture brace augmentation, offering a novel alternative to constrained implants. His research on morphometric fixed-bearing UKA (2 citations) further shows that patient-specific anatomical restoration can reproduce normal knee kinematics, as validated by in vitro robotic evaluation. Dr. Bandi’s work is highly cited and directly influences modern, patient-specific approaches to knee replacement surgery.
