About
Rajeev Reddy Kikkuri is a rising orthopaedic surgeon-scientist whose work centers on the transformative potential of robotic-assisted technology in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His research focuses on optimizing surgical alignment strategies, improving perioperative outcomes, and understanding the adoption of robotics in arthroplasty, particularly within the Indian healthcare landscape. Kikkuri’s most-cited study (21 citations, 2023) provides critical evidence that functional alignment in robotic-assisted TKA, while associated with a higher incidence of pre-balance, significantly reduces the need for soft-tissue release and post-operative pain compared to mechanical alignment—a finding that directly informs surgical decision-making. He has also pioneered a novel surgical technique for gap capture and balancing to avoid lateral laxity in varus knees, addressing a common intraoperative challenge. His comparative analysis of sleep quality after robotic versus conventional TKA (2025) adds a patient-centric dimension to outcomes research. By analyzing trends in robotics adoption across India (2025), Kikkuri is helping to map the trajectory of technology integration in a rapidly evolving surgical field. His work is shaping how surgeons balance precision, efficiency, and patient recovery in modern arthroplasty.
