About
Peter Reilly is a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, additive manufacturing, and shoulder arthroplasty. His primary research focus is the development of novel, intraoperative technologies to improve the accuracy and personalization of joint replacement surgery. Dr. Reilly’s major contribution is the conceptualization and validation of a mechatronic system that manufactures patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) directly in the operating room, bypassing the weeks-long delays associated with traditional pre-operative 3D printing. His landmark 2021 cadaveric study, which has garnered 21 citations, demonstrated that this rapid, robotic approach significantly enhances glenoid component placement accuracy compared to standard techniques. This work, building on his earlier 2016 proof-of-concept paper, represents a paradigm shift toward "just-in-time" surgical personalization. By integrating real-time data with automated fabrication, Dr. Reilly is addressing a critical bottleneck in precision orthopaedics, offering the potential for improved implant longevity and patient outcomes without the logistical hurdles of current external manufacturing workflows.
