About

Sofia Marasco is a rising orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical precision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through advanced imaging and alignment analysis. Her primary research areas include lower limb coronal alignment measurement, radiographic reliability, and the clinical application of the arithmetic Hip Knee Angle (aHKA). Marasco’s most cited paper, “Arithmetic hip knee angle measurement on long leg radiograph versus computed tomography—inter-observer and intra-observer reliability” (2023, 25 citations), addresses a critical challenge in TKA: ensuring consistent, accurate pre-operative alignment assessment. By comparing aHKA measurements from standard long leg radiographs with those from CT scans, she demonstrated that the simpler radiographic method can yield reliable results, potentially reducing the need for more expensive or radiation-intensive imaging. This work has practical implications for surgeons considering alternative alignment strategies in knee replacement. With 25 citations already, her study is gaining traction among clinicians seeking evidence-based, accessible tools for pre-operative planning. Marasco’s contributions highlight a commitment to bridging imaging technology and clinical decision-making, making her a notable voice in the evolving field of orthopaedic biomechanics and joint arthroplasty.
