About

Riccardo Cuoghi Costantini is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the precision and clinical outcomes of robotic-arm-assisted knee arthroplasty. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the accuracy and long-term success of CT-based robotic systems for both total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). His landmark study, with 28 citations, found no clinical outcome difference between functionally aligned cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized robotic TKA, challenging conventional implant selection. Another highly cited work (15 citations) showed that image-based robotic UKA achieves high survival and good-to-excellent outcomes at a minimum 10-year follow-up, providing crucial long-term evidence. Costantini has also established the high accuracy of these systems in achieving planned bone cuts (13 citations) and documented high return-to-sport rates in UKA patients. His latest research explores how femoral component rotational alignment varies across knee phenotypes in robotic TKA, further refining surgical personalization. Through these studies, Costantini has become a key voice in validating robotic assistance as a tool for improving reproducibility, functional outcomes, and patient satisfaction in knee replacement surgery.
