About
Mazen Zamzam is a rising orthopedic researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of body composition and surgical outcomes in joint arthroplasty. His research centers on how subcutaneous fat distribution and body mass index (BMI) influence both clinical results and patient-reported outcomes following robotic-assisted total hip and knee replacements. In his most-cited paper, Zamzam demonstrates that periarticular fat measurements on CT scans serve as a more precise predictor of complications than BMI alone, offering surgeons a novel tool for preoperative risk stratification. His second major contribution quantifies how specific fat depots around the knee correlate with adverse events after total knee arthroplasty. Although early in his career, with his top papers accumulating 5 and 2 citations respectively, Zamzam’s work is already shaping the conversation around personalized surgical planning. By moving beyond traditional BMI metrics, he provides actionable insights that could reduce revision rates and improve recovery experiences. His research is particularly valuable for residents and fellows seeking evidence-based approaches to optimize patient selection and counseling in modern, technology-assisted joint replacement surgery.
