About
Dr. Max L. Willinger is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) and advanced robotic-assisted arthroplasty. His most cited work, "Surgical Technique: Robotic-Assisted 1.5-Stage Exchange Total Knee Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection" (2023), introduces a novel surgical protocol that integrates robotic navigation to overcome the challenges of achieving proper alignment and balance in infected total knee replacements complicated by significant bone loss. This technique represents a major contribution to PJI management, offering a more precise and reproducible approach to a notoriously difficult revision procedure. With 11 citations in just one year, his work is already shaping clinical practice by demonstrating how robotic technologies can enhance outcomes in complex, infection-related cases. Dr. Willinger’s research bridges the gap between infection control and mechanical restoration, providing a roadmap for surgeons tackling these demanding revisions. His innovative fusion of robotics with infection surgery marks him as a rising authority in the field, with potential to redefine standards for joint preservation in infected arthroplasty patients.
