About
Dr. Mikayla McGrath is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing joint replacement surgery through robotic assistance and patient-centered outcomes. Her primary research areas include unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), functional recovery after joint surgery, and the integration of robotic technology to improve surgical precision. McGrath’s most notable contribution is her landmark 2021 study on robotic assistance in UKA, which demonstrated that robotic-guided procedures lead to superior early functional recovery and are more likely to meet patient expectations compared to conventional techniques. This work, cited 21 times, addresses a critical gap in understanding how robotic alignment reduces errors and enhances postoperative outcomes. By focusing on pain levels, satisfaction, and recovery timelines, McGrath has helped reshape clinical protocols, emphasizing the importance of technology in achieving patient-specific goals. Her research is widely recognized for bridging engineering precision with real-world patient experiences, making her a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive, robot-assisted arthroplasty. McGrath’s findings continue to influence surgical training and device development, underscoring her impact on modern orthopedic practice.
