About

Hiroki Kaneta is a leading researcher in orthopedic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing total hip arthroplasty (THA) through computer-assisted technologies. His work centers on evaluating and improving the precision of acetabular cup placement, a critical factor in surgical outcomes. Kaneta’s most-cited study, “Evaluation of cup placement accuracy in computer assisted total hip arthroplasty” (2025), provides a landmark comparison of robotic systems, CT navigation, and portable navigation, filling a key gap in the literature. This work has already garnered 7 citations, underscoring its immediate impact on surgical practice. By systematically assessing the accuracy of these technologies, Kaneta has helped define best practices for computer-assisted equipment in THA, directly influencing how surgeons optimize implant positioning. His research bridges engineering and clinical application, offering evidence-based guidance for improving patient outcomes. Kaneta’s contributions are particularly notable for their practical relevance, equipping surgeons with data to select the most effective tools for cup placement. As computer-assisted surgery evolves, his work remains a foundational reference for researchers and clinicians striving to enhance the precision and reliability of hip arthroplasty.
