About
Giacomo Placella is an orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total joint arthroplasty through comparative surgical techniques and robotic-assisted technologies. His primary research areas include minimally invasive approaches for hip replacement, robotic-assisted arthroplasty, and revision joint surgery. Placella’s major contributions lie in evaluating the clinical outcomes of different surgical methods, particularly comparing the direct anterior approach with conventional instruments against robotic posterolateral approaches in total hip replacement for osteoarthritis. His 2024 case–control study, with 13 citations, provides critical evidence on peri-operative and short-term outcomes, helping guide surgical decision-making. Additionally, his 2025 scoping review on robotic-assisted hip and knee revision arthroplasty, with 6 citations, synthesizes emerging evidence on a rapidly evolving field, highlighting the potential of robotic systems to improve precision and outcomes in complex revision procedures. Through these works, Placella has contributed to the growing body of knowledge that supports the integration of robotics into orthopaedic practice, offering valuable insights for surgeons seeking to optimize patient recovery and implant longevity.
