About

Lakshmanan Sivasundaram is a leading researcher in orthopaedic surgery, with a focus on the adoption and impact of advanced technologies in joint arthroplasty. His work has been instrumental in understanding how computer navigation and robotic assistance are transforming total knee and hip arthroplasty in the United States. His most-cited study, “Trends in computer navigation and robotic assistance for total knee arthroplasty in the United States” (144 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of patient and hospital factors driving the use of these technologies, highlighting disparities and trends that inform surgical practice and policy. Another key contribution, “Utilization of technology-assisted total hip arthroplasty in the United States from 2005 to 2018” (47 citations), extends this analysis to hip replacements, revealing national patterns in the adoption of robotic and navigational tools. Sivasundaram’s research is notable for its use of large national databases to generate real-world evidence, offering critical insights into the evolving landscape of orthopaedic surgery. His work has significant implications for improving surgical precision, implant longevity, and patient outcomes, making him a respected voice in the field of technology-assisted arthroplasty.
