About
Guilherme Honda Saito is a leading researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) and hindfoot kinematics. His work addresses critical gaps in understanding how implant positioning and adjacent joint conditions affect joint motion and long-term outcomes after ankle replacement. In his highly cited 2019 study, Saito demonstrated that the position of the tibial component significantly alters kinematics during simulated gait, providing essential guidance for surgical technique. His 2022 research further revealed how subtalar arthrodesis—a common procedure for adjacent joint arthritis—can profoundly impact total ankle replacement mechanics, raising important considerations for preoperative planning. With over 33 citations across his most influential papers, Saito’s cadaveric gait simulation studies have become foundational references for surgeons and engineers seeking to improve implant design and surgical alignment. By combining rigorous experimental methods with clinically relevant questions, he has advanced the understanding of how to restore natural motion and reduce complications in complex ankle reconstruction. His work continues to shape evidence-based practices in foot and ankle surgery.
