About
Dr. Cedric J. Ortiguera is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through comparative effectiveness and patient-centered outcomes. His most-cited study, "Robotic-Assisted versus Manual Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Crossover Cohort: What Did Patients Prefer?" (2020, 9 citations), directly addresses a pivotal question in modern joint replacement: whether robotic assistance yields superior clinical results or patient satisfaction over traditional manual techniques. By employing a unique crossover cohort design, Dr. Ortiguera’s research provides rare, real-world evidence on patient preferences, helping to guide surgical decision-making in an era of rapidly evolving technology. His contributions are particularly impactful for orthopedists and healthcare systems weighing the costs and benefits of robotic systems. With a focus on measurable outcomes and patient-reported experiences, Dr. Ortiguera’s work bridges the gap between innovation and practical clinical application. His findings are frequently cited in debates on TKA optimization, and his methodological rigor has made him a trusted voice in orthopedic outcomes research. For students and surgeons alike, his studies offer essential insights into how technology can—or cannot—improve the lives of patients undergoing joint replacement.
