About
Paul Gaston is a prominent orthopaedic surgery researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic-assisted joint replacement technology. His research primarily focuses on total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a particular emphasis on comparing robotic-arm assisted surgical techniques against conventional manual approaches. Gaston's most influential contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses examining the accuracy, patient-reported outcomes, and clinical complications of robotic surgery in joint replacement. His 2021 systematic review on robotic-arm assisted total knee arthroplasty has accumulated 258 citations, establishing it as a key reference in the field, while his parallel work on total hip arthroplasty has garnered an additional 140 citations. Together, these studies have helped shape clinical understanding of robotic surgery's benefits and learning curves across major joint procedures. Beyond clinical outcomes, Gaston has extended his research into health economics, publishing a cost-utility analysis evaluating whether robotic THA represents value for healthcare systems, including the NHS. His more recent work exploring early muscle recovery following robotic unicompartmental knee arthroplasty reflects a growing interest in functional rehabilitation. With over 490 total citations, Gaston's body of work is increasingly influential in guiding surgeons and healthcare systems toward evidence-based adoption of robotic orthopaedic technology.
