About
Pakpoom Ruangsomboon is a rising leader in orthopaedic outcomes research, with a focused expertise in the comparative effectiveness and health economics of robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty. His work systematically evaluates whether the enhanced surgical precision of robotic-assisted total knee and hip arthroplasty translates into meaningful improvements for patients. In his landmark 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, cited 55 times, he provided a rigorous, evidence-based assessment of clinical and radiological outcomes for robotic-assisted versus conventional total knee arthroplasty, clarifying the technology’s true benefits. He extended this analysis to total hip arthroplasty in a 2024 meta-analysis (18 citations), further solidifying his reputation as a go-to synthesizer of high-level evidence. Notably, Ruangsomboon has pioneered the cost-effectiveness analysis of robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty from the perspective of a middle-income country, a critical contribution that addresses the fiscal realities and competing public-health priorities faced by healthcare systems outside high-income nations. His work is essential reading for surgeons, policymakers, and researchers navigating the adoption of expensive surgical technologies in resource-constrained settings.
