About
Michael A. Charters is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision in knee arthroplasty through innovative imaging and robotic technologies. His primary research areas include templating for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), and conversion procedures from UKA to TKA. Dr. Charters made a major contribution by demonstrating that 3D models generated from standard radiographs can significantly improve templating accuracy for TKA, reducing clinical outliers and enhancing operative efficiency—a finding with practical implications for surgical planning. He further advanced the field by showing that a novel CT-free robotic surgical assistant improves the accuracy and reproducibility of bone resections in medial UKA compared to conventional instrumentation, as evidenced in a cadaveric study. His work has garnered attention, with his most-cited paper accumulating 13 citations, and he has pioneered a surgical technique for non-CT-based robotic assistance in converting UKA to TKA. Dr. Charters’ research bridges the gap between imaging innovation and robotic precision, offering tangible improvements in patient outcomes and surgical workflow.
