About
Sonia K. Chandi is a rising orthopedic researcher whose work is shaping the future of robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty. Her primary focus lies in optimizing surgical outcomes for total hip and knee arthroplasty, with a particular emphasis on the precision and safety benefits of robotic navigation. Her most impactful work, a 2023 update on contemporary advancements in total hip arthroplasty (19 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of how technology is addressing persistent challenges like dislocation, leg length discrepancy, and infection. Dr. Chandi has made significant contributions by rigorously comparing robotic-assisted techniques against traditional manual methods. Her 2025 study on robotic-assisted THA for femoral neck fractures demonstrated notably low rates of dislocation and reoperation, offering promising evidence for a high-risk patient population. She has further explored the nuances of surgical approach, comparing direct anterior and postero-lateral methods in robotic procedures, and has investigated outcomes for complex cases such as hip dysplasia. Through her growing body of work, Dr. Chandi is providing the evidence base needed to refine surgical decision-making and improve patient recovery in modern joint replacement surgery.
