Seth A. Jerabek

About

Dr. Seth A. Jerabek is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of joint arthroplasty, with a particular focus on the integration of advanced technology. His primary research areas center on computer navigation and robotic-assisted surgery for both total knee and total hip arthroplasty. Dr. Jerabek’s major contributions include demonstrating the clinical superiority of robotic assistance, as evidenced by his highly cited work showing that robotic-arm assisted technology significantly improves the accuracy of implant placement (102 citations) and reduces the risk of revision for dislocation in posterior approach hip arthroplasty (74 citations). He has also been instrumental in comparative effectiveness research, such as his head-to-head comparison of kinematic versus mechanical alignment in knee arthroplasty (99 citations). With over 730 total citations across his top ten papers, his influence is substantial. Notably, his 2018 review on computer navigation in total knee arthroplasty (188 citations) serves as a foundational text in the field. Dr. Jerabek’s work consistently addresses the critical question of whether technology is truly improving patient value, making him a pivotal voice in the modern era of orthopedic surgery.
