About
Payam Tarassoli is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, orthopaedic surgery, and medical imaging, whose work is transforming the treatment of complex joint fractures. His primary research areas include image-guided surgical robotics, computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery, and minimally invasive fracture reduction techniques. Tarassoli’s major contribution is the development of the RAFS (Robot-Assisted Fracture Surgery) system, a semi-automated platform that enables percutaneous reduction of intra-articular fractures—a procedure traditionally requiring open surgery with extensive soft tissue damage. His work integrates real-time 3D imaging, force-torque sensing, and vision-based control to enhance surgical precision and safety. With over 240 cumulative citations, his most influential paper, “Image-Guided Surgical Robotic System for Percutaneous Reduction of Joint Fractures” (53 citations), lays the foundation for this novel approach. Notably, his 2023 study in *Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy* (48 citations) revealed that long leg radiographs systematically underestimate varus limb alignment compared to CT, a critical insight for total knee arthroplasty planning. Tarassoli’s research promises to reduce recovery times and improve outcomes for fracture patients worldwide.
