Akhilesh Sastry

About

Dr. Akhilesh Sastry is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the transformative potential of robotic-assisted and computer-navigated knee arthroplasty. His major contributions lie in demystifying the transition from traditional surgical methods to robotic systems, providing critical insights for surgeons adopting this technology. His most influential work, "Making the transition from traditional to robotic-arm assisted TKA," with 87 citations, offers a practical, single-surgeon comparative analysis of the first 40 consecutive cases, outlining realistic expectations and learning curves. Expanding this focus, his study "The trends in robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty," cited 51 times, leverages a statewide database to reveal broader adoption patterns and outcomes. Dr. Sastry has also advanced the field through a systematic review on robotic and navigated unicompartmental knee arthroplasties, synthesizing evidence on how these technologies improve patient outcomes. His research is instrumental in guiding evidence-based adoption of robotics in orthopaedics, making him a key voice for surgeons and students navigating this surgical evolution.
