About
Martijn G.M. Schotanus is an orthopedic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a particular focus on robotic-assisted technologies and alignment strategies. He has emerged as a leading voice in evaluating imageless, handheld robotic systems for TKA, systematically comparing their performance against conventional instrumentation across multiple study designs. His most cited work, a 2020 matched cohort study with 71 citations, provided early clinical evidence that image-free handheld robotic platforms can reliably achieve desired limb alignment. This was followed by a prospective randomized controlled trial demonstrating superior implant placement accuracy with robotic assistance — findings that have helped shape adoption of these technologies in routine practice. Schotanus has further contributed insights into bilateral TKA outcomes, patient-reported joint awareness, and the clinical significance of coronal plane alignment classification. His growing body of work, accumulating nearly 200 citations across nine key publications, reflects a rigorous, patient-centered approach to surgical innovation. Through comprehensive reviews of pre- and intraoperative planning tools, he also serves as an important synthesizer of evidence for clinicians navigating an increasingly technology-driven surgical landscape.
