About
Andrew D. Lachance is an orthopedic researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of robotic-assisted arthroplasty and complex conversion surgeries. His primary research areas include total knee and hip arthroplasty, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted techniques for challenging revision and conversion procedures. Lachance has made significant contributions by demonstrating that robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) yields comparable range of motion, component positioning, and complication rates to manual TKA when converting from unicompartmental knee arthroplasty—a finding supported by his most-cited paper (13 citations). He further advanced the field by showing that robotic assistance may allow for smaller polyethylene liner sizes during TKA with simultaneous hardware removal (3 citations), and by documenting successful robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty after hardware removal (1 citation). His work on converting patellofemoral arthroplasty to robotic-assisted TKA (5 citations) highlights the potential of robotic systems to improve outcomes in historically challenging procedures. Lachance’s research is helping to establish robotic assistance as a valuable tool for managing complex arthroplasty cases, particularly those involving prior hardware or conversion surgeries.
