About

Saker Khamaisy is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for knee arthroplasty and understanding the biomechanics of ligament injuries. His primary contributions lie in robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), where he has systematically compared implant designs and surgical approaches. In a highly cited 2014 study (26 citations), Khamaisy demonstrated that onlay tibial implants provide superior clinical outcomes over inlays in robotic UKA, offering critical guidance for implant selection. He further addressed the technical challenges of lateral compartment UKA, showing that robotic assistance improves accuracy and reproducibility in this anatomically complex procedure (20 citations). Beyond arthroplasty, Khamaisy’s research on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency revealed that medial tibial subluxation can be detected on standing radiographs, correlating with cadaveric models (17 citations). This finding provides a practical diagnostic tool for clinicians assessing ACL injuries. With a focused portfolio of high-impact studies, Khamaisy has shaped modern approaches to knee surgery, bridging the gap between biomechanical theory and clinical practice.
