Hosam E. Matar

About

Hosam E. Matar is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on evidence-based arthroplasty, particularly total hip and knee replacement. His major contributions lie in systematically evaluating the highest-quality evidence in joint arthroplasty, notably through comprehensive overviews of randomized controlled trials. In his landmark 2020 paper, "Overview of Randomized Controlled Trials in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty (34,020 Patients): What Have We Learnt?" (16 citations), Matar synthesized data from over 34,000 patients to distill key insights for clinical practice. He extended this rigorous methodology to total knee arthroplasty, analyzing 47,675 patients in a companion study. These works are widely cited for providing surgeons with a clear, evidence-based framework to guide implant selection, surgical techniques, and postoperative care. Matar’s research is distinguished by its methodological rigor and direct clinical applicability, helping to bridge the gap between large-scale trial data and everyday orthopedic decision-making. His contributions have established him as a trusted voice in arthroplasty, shaping how the field evaluates and applies evidence to improve patient outcomes.
