About
Nick D. Clement is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the transformative potential of robotic-assisted arthroplasty. His major contributions lie in systematically evaluating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of robotic-arm assisted total knee and hip arthroplasty compared to traditional manual techniques. Through landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses—including a highly cited 2021 study (258 citations) demonstrating improved accuracy and patient-reported outcomes in robotic knee replacement—Clement has provided crucial evidence shaping modern surgical practice. He has also led randomized controlled trials, such as the ROAM trial (2023, 45 citations), directly comparing robotic to manual knee arthroplasty, and has explored the learning curve, functional outcomes, and survivorship of robotic unicompartmental knee procedures. Notably, his cost-utility analysis of robotic hip arthroplasty (2022) addresses the critical question of economic viability across healthcare systems. With over 700 total citations across his most influential works, Clement’s research is essential reading for surgeons, trainees, and policymakers navigating the adoption of robotic technology in orthopaedics, offering rigorous data on accuracy, patient satisfaction, and value-based care.
