About
William J. Donnelly is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work focuses on advancing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) through robotic-assisted technology, with a particular emphasis on improving surgical outcomes, cost-effectiveness, and long-term survivorship. His most cited paper, "The three-year survivorship of robotically assisted versus non-robotically assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty" (2020, 88 citations), provides critical evidence that robotic assistance can significantly reduce revision rates, addressing a key concern highlighted by national joint registries. Donnelly further demonstrates the economic impact of his work in "The Cost Effectiveness of Unicompartmental versus Total Knee Arthroplasty" (2022, 9 citations), where he models substantial healthcare savings through increased use of robotic-arm-assisted UKA. His early clinical experience, detailed in "Clinical and radiological outcomes of robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty" (2021, 8 citations), offers valuable lessons from the first 100 consecutive cases, establishing foundational best practices. Collectively, Donnelly’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and real-world application, making a compelling case for the broader adoption of robotic UKA to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
