About
Masaya Sengoku is a rising orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through precision surgical techniques and robotic assistance. His primary research areas include joint gap kinematics, surgical reproducibility, and the influence of surgeon experience on intraoperative outcomes. Sengoku’s most-cited study, published in 2022, critically examines how manual stress during TKA—specifically the joint gap produced by a Z-shaped retractor—varies with surgeon expertise and knee flexion angle. This work has garnered 16 citations, highlighting its relevance to improving consistency in robotic-assisted procedures. By demonstrating that less experienced surgeons generate smaller gaps in flexion, Sengoku underscores the need for standardized training and robotic guidance to minimize variability. His findings contribute directly to the evolution of computer-assisted orthopedic surgery, offering actionable insights for enhancing implant alignment and soft-tissue balance. Sengoku’s research bridges the gap between manual surgical skill and technological augmentation, making him a notable voice in the push toward more reproducible, data-driven arthroplasty outcomes.
