About
Ricci Plastow is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on advancing arthroplasty through robotic assistance, cementless fixation, and advanced imaging. His major contributions lie in demonstrating how robotic-arm-assisted total hip and knee arthroplasty improves implant positioning accuracy, reduces hospital length of stay, and enables more reproducible restoration of native hip biomechanics. With over 250 total citations, his most influential paper—a 2021 review on cementless knee arthroplasty (46 citations)—has helped drive the recent resurgence of biological fixation in joint replacement. His prospective randomized controlled trial comparing CT-based planning with robotic-arm-assisted total hip arthroplasty (34 citations) provides high-level evidence for the technology’s clinical benefits. Plastow has also pioneered work on functional component positioning to address spinopelvic pathology and on using CT scans for three-dimensional preoperative planning. His research on converting unicompartmental to total knee arthroplasty using robotic assistance (19 citations) opens new frontiers in revision surgery. Through rigorous clinical trials and systematic reviews, Plastow is shaping the future of precision joint replacement, making him a key voice in modern arthroplasty.
