About

Periklis Tzanetis is a rising leader in orthopaedic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His research centers on a critical, unresolved question: how to define the optimal surgical target for implant positioning. Tzanetis’s major contribution is championing a paradigm shift toward “functional reconstruction of the pre-diseased state.” Rather than relying on generic alignment targets, his work uses robotic technology to analyze each patient’s unique pre-arthritic knee anatomy and kinematics, aiming to restore their natural, pre-diseased function. His seminal 2023 paper, “Pre-Planning the Surgical Target for Optimal Implant Positioning in Robotic-Assisted TKA,” has garnered 19 citations, establishing a foundational methodology for this personalized approach. This work was further recognized when he received the prestigious ISTA Award in 2023 for his follow-up study, “Toward functional reconstruction of the pre-diseased state in total knee arthroplasty.” By integrating advanced pre-operative planning with robotic precision, Tzanetis is driving the field toward more individualized, patient-specific outcomes, promising to enhance both implant longevity and patient satisfaction in joint replacement surgery.
