About
Jessica Hooper is a leading orthopedic outcomes researcher whose work focuses on surgical innovation, opioid stewardship, and evidence-based practice in total joint arthroplasty. Her most-cited study, "Opioid Use After Robotic-Assisted Versus Conventional Total Hip Arthroplasty," tested the hypothesis that robotic-assisted surgery reduces postoperative opioid consumption. Using a large national database, she demonstrated that robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty is associated with significantly lower opioid use and a reduced incidence of new, persistent opioid use compared to conventional techniques. This work has direct implications for perioperative pain management and the national effort to combat the opioid crisis. With 2 citations to date, her research is gaining traction among surgeons and policymakers alike. Hooper’s contributions bridge the gap between surgical technology and public health, offering actionable insights for safer, more effective recovery protocols. Her work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to optimize patient outcomes while minimizing opioid-related risks.
