About
Nana O. Sarpong is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA), with a focus on improving surgical precision, soft tissue balance, and patient outcomes. His major contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted TKA improves compartment balancing throughout the range of motion (46 citations) and that registration of bony landmarks and soft tissue laxity in robotic TKA is highly reproducible (17 citations). He has also shown that robotic assistance enhances cementless component fixation and is associated with earlier return of postoperative range of motion. His research extends to spine surgery, where he analyzed instrumentation complication rates using the Scoliosis Research Society database (35 citations), and to hip arthroplasty, comparing robotic and computer-navigation techniques. With over 100 cumulative citations across his most-cited papers, Sarpong’s work provides critical evidence for the adoption of robotic technology in joint replacement, helping surgeons achieve more consistent, balanced, and durable outcomes. His studies on ligament repair and implant constraint further address complex intraoperative challenges, solidifying his role as a key contributor to modern orthopedic practice.
