About
Matthew Hickey is a leading researcher in orthopaedic surgery, specializing in the clinical and economic evaluation of technology-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His work focuses on robotic, navigated, and patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) procedures, critically assessing their real-world value. Hickey’s major contributions include developing simulation-based frameworks to determine the necessary study sizes for detecting revision rate reductions attributable to these technologies, as well as analyzing their cost-effectiveness. His 2021 paper, “How Large a Study Is Needed to Detect TKA Revision Rate Reductions Attributable to Robotic or Navigated Technologies?” (23 citations), provides essential guidance for designing robust clinical trials. His 2022 work, “Can Technology Assistance be Cost Effective in TKA?” (17 citations), introduces a risk-prioritized, practice-specific model that challenges assumptions about the universal benefits of these tools. By combining rigorous statistical methodology with health economics, Hickey offers a nuanced perspective that helps surgeons and policymakers make evidence-based decisions. His research is highly cited for its practical implications, shaping how the orthopaedic community evaluates and adopts new surgical technologies.
