About
Victor A. van de Graaf is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His primary research focus is the comparative analysis of surgical alignment strategies—specifically mechanical, kinematic, and functional alignment—and their impact on clinical outcomes. Dr. van de Graaf’s most significant contribution is his pioneering work on functional alignment (FA), demonstrating through high-impact studies that this technique best achieves balanced gaps while minimizing bone resections and preserving the knee’s natural joint line obliquity. His 2023 paper on this topic has already garnered 46 citations, underscoring its influence. He has further advanced the field by investigating sagittal plane imbalance and femoral component rotation, providing surgeons with evidence-based guidance for personalized implant positioning. With over 90 total citations to his name, Dr. van de Graaf’s research is not only widely read but also directly informs surgical practice. His recent work extends into robotic-assisted techniques for total hip replacement, showcasing his versatility. For any student or researcher interested in the future of joint replacement surgery, Dr. van de Graaf’s work represents the cutting edge of precision and patient-specific care.
