About

Dr. Tomoyuki Kamenaga is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in joint replacement surgery, with a particular focus on total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His work centers on improving surgical precision and outcomes through advanced technologies, including robotics and patient-specific alignment techniques. Dr. Kamenaga’s major contributions include demonstrating that the accuracy of cup placement in robot-assisted THA is significantly influenced by surgical approach and pelvic tilt—a finding that helps surgeons optimize implant positioning and reduce complications. His research on the lateral malleolus as a reliable landmark for restricted kinematically aligned TKA offers a simple, reproducible method for achieving safe bone resection without the need for expensive navigation systems, making this technique more accessible, particularly in Japanese populations. With over 30 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Kamenaga’s studies are shaping best practices in robotic and alignment-guided arthroplasty. His work not only advances surgical technique but also provides practical, evidence-based solutions that enhance patient outcomes in joint replacement surgery.
