About
Dr. Sina Babazadeh is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping how we approach total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His primary research focuses on lower limb alignment, specifically comparing kinematic versus mechanical alignment techniques in knee replacement surgery. Dr. Babazadeh’s most influential contribution is his 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis, which demonstrated that kinematic alignment yields clinically similar outcomes to the traditional mechanical alignment, a finding cited over 50 times and now guiding surgical decision-making worldwide. He has also advanced the precision of pre-operative planning through his work on the arithmetic Hip Knee Angle (aHKA), showing that this simple radiographic measurement can reliably predict coronal alignment without the need for more expensive CT scans. This 2023 study, with 25 citations, highlights his commitment to making orthopaedic care both accurate and accessible. Dr. Babazadeh’s research is essential reading for any surgeon or trainee seeking to understand the evidence behind modern alignment philosophies in TKA.
