About

Yair Kissin is an orthopedic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His research focuses on evaluating the safety, efficacy, and adoption of novel robotic surgical systems, with particular emphasis on understanding how surgeons and institutions adapt to emerging technologies in joint replacement surgery. Kissin's most influential contribution — a 2021 study on the learning curve for active robotic TKA, garnering 60 citations — provided critical insight into how surgical teams navigate the transition to fully automated bone resection systems. This work has become an essential reference for programs considering robotic implementation. His multicenter trial assessing the safety and effectiveness of active robotics across 115 patients (19 citations) further established clinical benchmarks for this technology in real-world U.S. populations. Beyond established platforms, Kissin has remained at the forefront of innovation, publishing early experiences with the TSolution One® system and, most recently, investigating a novel handheld wireless robotic device. Collectively, his body of work has meaningfully shaped clinical understanding of how robotic TKA systems perform across diverse settings, helping to guide both adoption decisions and training protocols for orthopedic surgeons worldwide.
