About
Robert M. Molloy is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and adoption of robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery. Specializing in total knee and total hip arthroplasty, Molloy has dedicated his career to evaluating whether robotic and computer-assisted surgical technologies deliver measurable clinical and economic value over conventional manual techniques. His most cited work, "Robotic Arm–Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty" (2018, 173 citations), established an early benchmark in the field, while subsequent studies have rigorously examined outcomes including mechanical alignment precision, posterior condylar offset restoration, length of stay, opioid use, readmission rates, and 90-day episode-of-care costs. Collectively, his publications have accumulated over 460 citations, reflecting their broad influence across the orthopedic community. Molloy's research consistently applies propensity score matching and cohort-matched methodologies to strengthen comparative analyses, lending credibility to his findings. His more recent investigations into anterior-approach robotic hip arthroplasty and complex revision cases demonstrate a continuing commitment to expanding the evidence base for robotic surgery. For students and researchers entering this field, Molloy's body of work offers an essential, data-driven framework for evaluating emerging surgical technologies.
