About
Seth S. Leopold is a towering figure in orthopaedic surgery, renowned for his incisive editorial leadership and his commitment to elevating the quality of clinical evidence. As the Editor-in-Chief of *Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research* (CORR®), his key research areas center on critical appraisal of surgical literature, the ethics of new implant and technology adoption, and the rigorous evaluation of total knee and hip arthroplasty outcomes. His major contributions include pioneering frameworks for how surgeons should interpret scientific studies, as seen in his widely read editorial “Getting the Most from What You Read in Orthopaedic Journals” (20+ citations), and challenging dogma on alignment techniques in TKA. His work consistently questions the hype around robotic and navigated technologies, demanding evidence of real patient benefit over precision alone. With a cumulative impact of over 65 citations from his most influential editorials and commentaries, Leopold has shaped the discourse on evidence-based orthopaedics. Notably, his “Editorial: What CORR® Seeks From Papers About New Implants and Techniques” (21 citations) has become a seminal guide for authors and reviewers alike. For students and researchers, Leopold exemplifies how a surgeon-scholar can advance the field not just through the scalpel, but through the power of clear, critical thought.
