Atsushi Teramoto

About

Dr. Atsushi Teramoto is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work bridges biomechanics, joint kinematics, and surgical innovation. His primary research focuses on knee and ankle stability, with landmark contributions to ligament function in total knee arthroplasty and lateral ankle repair. Notably, his 2018 study on ACL function in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (36 citations) has reshaped understanding of how preserving the ACL can improve functional outcomes. In ankle surgery, his biomechanical cadaveric studies—such as the 2019 work on anatomic vs. nonanatomic anterior talofibular ligament repair (31 citations)—provide critical evidence for optimizing surgical techniques. Dr. Teramoto has also advanced minimally invasive surgery, demonstrating the feasibility of joystick-guided robotic scope holders (Soloassist) in laparoscopic procedures (32 citations), reducing reliance on human assistants. His recent work on medial meniscus extrusion and high tibial osteotomy (2024, 16 citations) continues to influence knee preservation strategies. With over 200 cumulative citations across his most impactful papers, Dr. Teramoto’s research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to joint surgery and robotic assistance.
