About

Mats Zander is a rising orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing precision in joint replacement surgery, particularly in the hip and knee. His primary research areas include kinematic alignment (KA), functional alignment (FA), and the integration of robotics and navigation systems in arthroplasty. Zander’s most notable contribution is his 2023 study demonstrating that both KA and FA techniques achieve comparable accuracy in reconstructing the femoral joint line, a critical factor for restoring natural knee kinematics and improving patient outcomes. This work, with 10 citations, provides essential evidence for surgeons choosing between alignment philosophies. He has also authored a comprehensive 2024 review on the role of robotics and navigation in hip arthroplasty, addressing the current evidence, system differences, and clinical rationale for their use. By systematically evaluating how these technologies enhance implant positioning and reproducibility, Zander is helping to define best practices in computer-assisted surgery. His research bridges the gap between surgical technique and technological innovation, offering practical guidance for orthopedic surgeons seeking to improve precision and long-term function in joint replacement.
