About
Vivek S. Neginhal is a leading researcher in orthopedic surgical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing precision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His most cited work introduces a groundbreaking imageless, semiautonomous handheld robot for TKA, demonstrating in a cadaveric study that this novel system achieves exceptional accuracy in bone preparation and limb alignment without the need for preoperative CT scans. This contribution, cited over 60 times, addresses a critical gap by offering a more accessible, radiation-free alternative to traditional navigation systems, potentially expanding the benefits of robotic assistance to broader patient populations. By validating the first-of-its-kind handheld robotic platform, Neginhal’s research has significant implications for improving surgical outcomes and reducing variability in joint replacement. His work stands at the intersection of biomechanics, computer-assisted surgery, and medical device innovation, marking him as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive, image-free orthopedic technologies.
