About
Nipun Sodhi is a prominent orthopedic surgery researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the understanding and adoption of robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA). With a focused expertise in surgical innovation, outcomes research, and health economics, Sodhi has dedicated his career to rigorously evaluating how robotic technology compares to conventional manual techniques in joint replacement surgery. His most influential contributions include demonstrating that RATKA delivers significantly greater accuracy and precision in bone cuts and component placement than manual approaches — a landmark 2018 study that has garnered over 330 citations. Sodhi has also tackled practical clinical questions, such as characterizing the surgeon learning curve associated with robotic TKA (193 citations) and establishing that patient satisfaction improves meaningfully with robotic assistance. Notably, his research extends beyond technical outcomes to encompass soft-tissue preservation, correction of severe deformities, and 90-day episode-of-care cost analyses, reflecting a comprehensive, value-based perspective on surgical innovation. Collectively, Sodhi's body of work — spanning prospective multicenter trials, cost analyses, and functional outcome studies — has accumulated well over 1,500 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in modernizing total knee arthroplasty and guiding surgeons, institutions, and policymakers in adopting robotic surgical systems responsibly and effectively.
