About

Robert Pivec is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing arthroplasty outcomes through data-driven analysis and technological innovation. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty, joint replacement epidemiology, and surgical outcomes optimization. Pivec’s most impactful contribution is his 2019 statewide database study on trends in robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty, which has garnered 51 citations and serves as a foundational reference for understanding the adoption and efficacy of robotic systems in total knee replacements. This work highlights his ability to leverage large-scale administrative data to uncover practice patterns and inform evidence-based surgical decision-making. Beyond this landmark paper, Pivec has published extensively on implant survival, patient-reported outcomes, and the comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques. His research is widely cited by clinicians and health policy researchers seeking to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of joint arthroplasty. Pivec’s rigorous methodology and focus on real-world data make him a trusted voice in the field, and his studies continue to shape how surgeons integrate robotics into routine practice.
