About
Paul Arauz is a leading researcher in orthopedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on advancing total joint arthroplasty through kinematic analysis and robotic-assisted surgical techniques. His work centers on improving postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing hip and knee replacements by quantifying how surgical precision affects natural joint motion. Arauz’s most influential study, with 21 citations, is a landmark in vivo kinematic analysis demonstrating that robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty significantly restores gait symmetry at one-year follow-up compared to conventional freehand surgery—a critical finding for reducing long-term complications like implant wear and limb dysfunction. He has also contributed to knee biomechanics, notably through in vitro kinematic evaluations of posterior-substituting total knee arthroplasty designs, where his work on the single axis radius PS knee system addresses the challenge of restoring intrinsic joint mechanics. By bridging engineering and clinical practice, Arauz’s research provides surgeons with evidence-based guidance for optimizing component positioning, directly impacting patient mobility and quality of life. His citation record reflects growing recognition of his contributions to precision arthroplasty and functional recovery assessment.
