About
Dr. Musa Citak is a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the integration of robotics and advanced imaging into orthopaedic trauma and joint surgery. His major contributions lie in developing and validating robotic assistance for technically demanding procedures, such as distal locking of intramedullary nails and fracture reduction, where he has demonstrated that robotic systems can improve accuracy while reducing radiation exposure and malrotation. Dr. Citak’s landmark 2012 study on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (150 citations) established that robotic technology offers superior implant alignment compared to conventional techniques, a finding that has influenced the adoption of robotic systems in joint replacement. He has also explored novel approaches like robotic-guided waterjet cutting for osteotomies, aiming to reduce thermal bone necrosis, and has rigorously assessed factors affecting the accuracy of infrared and electromagnetic navigation. His work on improving the human-robot interface through haptic manipulators further underscores his commitment to making robotic assistance practical and safe for routine clinical use. With multiple publications in high-impact orthopaedic journals, Dr. Citak is recognized as a leader in the field of computer-assisted and robotic orthopaedic surgery.
