About
Joan Pijoan is a rising investigator in orthopedic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and functional alignment techniques. His work critically evaluates how surgical technology and alignment strategies influence patient outcomes. In his most-cited review, Pijoan synthesized the learning curve for robotic-assisted TKA, providing essential guidance for surgeons adopting this technology. His subsequent study challenged a prevailing assumption, finding that preserving preoperative Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) does not improve one-year clinical outcomes after functionally aligned robot-assisted TKA—a finding that refines surgical decision-making. Though early in his career, with papers published in 2025, his work has already garnered citations, signaling its relevance to a field rapidly evolving toward precision and evidence-based practice. Pijoan’s contributions are particularly valuable for trainees and researchers seeking to understand the real-world impact of robotic systems and alignment philosophies in joint replacement.
