About
Zaimary A. Meneses is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of advanced surgical technology and complex orthopedic pathology, particularly in knee arthroplasty. Her most notable contribution is the first documented case of robotic-assisted lateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in a patient with Nail-Patella Syndrome (NPS), a rare genetic disorder. This landmark 2021 case report demonstrated how robotic assistance can overcome the unique anatomical challenges of NPS—including lateral patellar dislocation, asymmetric trochlea, and advanced lateral compartment arthritis—to achieve precise implant positioning and restore function. While her citation count is still growing, this work has already garnered 4 citations, signaling its importance as a proof-of-concept for applying robotic technology to rare, structurally complex cases. Meneses’ research is pioneering the expansion of robotic-assisted arthroplasty beyond routine osteoarthritis, offering new solutions for patients with congenital or syndromic knee deformities. Her work exemplifies how surgical innovation can address previously untreatable pathologies, and she continues to advance the field of personalized, technology-driven joint reconstruction.
