About
Sanar S. Yokhana is a rising orthopedic researcher whose work centers on knee arthroplasty biomechanics and implant design optimization. Her most-cited study, a 2021 anatomical CT investigation into posterolateral tibial baseplate overhang, has garnered 14 citations and addresses a critical yet underrecognized complication in total knee replacement—improper implant fit that can lead to soft tissue irritation and early failure. By systematically quantifying overhang prevalence using high-resolution imaging, Yokhana provided surgeons with evidence-based guidelines for component sizing, directly influencing intraoperative decision-making. This work exemplifies her broader contribution to improving surgical precision and patient outcomes through rigorous anatomical analysis. Her research bridges the gap between implant engineering and clinical practice, offering actionable insights for reducing revision rates. Though early in her career, Yokhana’s focused approach to solving real-world orthopedic challenges signals a promising trajectory. For students and clinicians, her work underscores the value of integrating advanced imaging with surgical planning—a lesson in how meticulous anatomical study can translate into tangible improvements in joint replacement longevity and patient comfort.
