About

Marilena Qutami is a rising orthopedic surgeon-scientist whose work focuses on advancing the precision and safety of robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty. Her research addresses critical challenges in joint replacement, particularly the management of failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and the technical risks associated with robotic systems. In her most cited work (28 citations), Qutami pioneered the first comparative analysis of conventional versus robotic-assisted conversion techniques for failed UKA to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), demonstrating that robotic assistance may offer superior accuracy and reproducibility in these complex revision cases. She further investigated a key safety concern in robotic knee procedures—the risk of periprosthetic fracture from bicortical diaphyseal array pins (15 citations). By systematically reviewing fracture incidence and evaluating alternative pin placement strategies, Qutami provided evidence-based recommendations that enhance patient safety during robotic-assisted surgeries. Her contributions are shaping best practices in orthopedic oncology and joint reconstruction, bridging the gap between innovative technology and clinical outcomes. With her growing citation impact and focus on reducing complications in high-stakes revision arthroplasty, Qutami is establishing herself as a leading voice in the next generation of precision joint replacement surgery.
