About
Filippo Leggieri is an emerging leader in orthopaedic surgery, specializing in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and robotic-assisted joint reconstruction. His research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for active patients with degenerative medial meniscus root tears and early osteoarthritis, demonstrating that medial UKA yields favorable early results in this challenging population. Leggieri’s work on intraoperative joint laxity patterns in robotic-assisted UKA reveals that different balancing approaches do not compromise clinical outcomes when using 1-to-1 surface reconstruction techniques. He has also pioneered the application of robotic-assisted UKA in octogenarians, showing comparable clinical outcomes and implant survivorship to younger patients, while describing a preferred technique for preserving joint line positioning in this vulnerable group. His systematic review on technology-assisted revision knee arthroplasty highlights reduced radiographic outliers compared to standard revision surgery. With papers accumulating citations rapidly—including 13 and 11 citations for his 2024 works—Leggieri’s contributions are shaping modern knee arthroplasty practice, particularly in expanding indications for UKA and refining robotic-assisted techniques across diverse patient populations.
