About
Natasha Gabrov is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work is reshaping how we understand and perform total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Her primary research focus lies at the intersection of surgical robotics and functional biomechanics, specifically investigating how robotic-arm assistance can improve patient outcomes compared to traditional manual techniques. Gabrov’s major contribution is her pioneering randomised controlled trial, "Robotic-arm assisted versus manual total knee arthroplasty: Functional gait analysis," which provides the first robust, evidence-based comparison of postoperative walking patterns. This study, already cited 9 times since its 2024 publication, demonstrates that robotic assistance can lead to more natural gait mechanics, offering tangible benefits for patient mobility and long-term joint function. Beyond this landmark paper, Gabrov is recognized for her meticulous approach to surgical outcome measurement, bridging the gap between engineering precision and clinical reality. Her work is instrumental in guiding surgeons toward data-driven decisions in implant selection and technique, making her a key voice in the ongoing evolution of knee replacement surgery.
