About
Dr. Sarah Trent is an orthopedic researcher whose work is reshaping our understanding of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), particularly through the lens of surgical technique and patient-specific risk factors. Her research primarily focuses on comparing cemented versus cementless fixation in robotic-assisted TKA and evaluating how obesity impacts surgical outcomes. In her highly cited 2022 study (17 citations), Dr. Trent provided critical insights into short-term outcomes between cemented and cementless fixation, challenging long-held assumptions about the gold standard in knee replacement. Her 2023 work (10 citations) further demonstrated that while robotic-assisted technology offers precision, it does not mitigate the functional outcome disparities seen in obese and morbidly obese TKA patients compared to normal-weight individuals. By identifying obesity as a persistent risk factor for poorer functional recovery and aseptic loosening, Dr. Trent’s contributions are vital for preoperative counseling and surgical decision-making. Her research empowers clinicians to set realistic expectations and optimize fixation strategies, making her a key voice in advancing evidence-based, patient-centered orthopedic care.
