About
Tarun Jayakumar is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robotic-assisted arthroplasty, with a particular focus on total knee and hip replacement surgery. His research spans surgical technique innovation, alignment philosophy, perioperative outcomes, and the broader adoption of robotic technology within the Indian healthcare landscape. Jayakumar's most impactful contribution to date examines functional versus mechanical alignment in simultaneous bilateral robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), demonstrating that functional alignment reduces soft-tissue release and postoperative pain — a finding that has garnered 21 citations and carries meaningful implications for surgical planning. He has also advanced practical technique development, including a novel gap capture and balancing strategy to address lateral laxity in robotic TKA. His comparative analyses of robotic versus conventional hip arthroplasty address blood management, radiological precision, and even patient sleep quality — broadening the conversation around surgical outcomes beyond traditional metrics. Beyond the operating room, Jayakumar has contributed survey-based and trend analyses exploring how Indian surgeons are adopting robotics, offering valuable sociological and systems-level perspectives on technology integration in a rapidly evolving market. With over 55 cumulative citations across a concentrated body of recent work, his research is shaping evidence-based practice in modern arthroplasty.
