About
Kelly Taylor is a clinical researcher specializing in robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery, with a particular focus on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). Her work sits at the intersection of surgical technology and patient-centered outcomes, examining how robotic-arm-assisted systems compare to conventional manual techniques in real-world clinical settings. Taylor's most influential contribution, her 2019 study on one-year patient outcomes for robotic-arm-assisted versus manual TKA, has garnered 117 citations and helped shift the conversation beyond alignment accuracy toward meaningful patient-reported outcomes. Building on this foundation, her 2021 two-year follow-up study (59 citations) and a subsequent multi-institutional registry study of 861 patients (42 citations) have collectively established a robust longitudinal evidence base supporting robotic-assisted TKA. Her 2022 cluster analysis further refined understanding of which patient and procedural factors most strongly predict improved outcomes following surgery. Beyond knee replacement, Taylor has extended her expertise into robotic-assisted hip arthroplasty and minimally invasive approaches using novel femoral implants. Earlier work in gynecologic surgery demonstrates a breadth of interest in surgical efficiency and risk stratification. With over 230 cumulative citations, Taylor's research continues to meaningfully inform how surgeons and institutions evaluate and implement emerging robotic surgical technologies.
