About
Robert Marchand is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the adoption and evaluation of robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery. Specializing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA), Marchand has dedicated his career to investigating how robotic technology can improve surgical precision, patient outcomes, and overall value in orthopedic care. His most influential contributions center on the clinical validation of robotic-arm-assisted systems in TKA, with landmark studies examining learning curves, patient satisfaction, and long-term outcomes accumulating nearly 200 citations each. His 2017 work on the learning curve associated with robotic TKA provided surgeons with critical benchmarks for adoption, while his concurrent patient satisfaction study demonstrated measurable improvements in outcomes — research that collectively helped legitimize robotic surgery within the orthopedic community. Marchand has also tackled challenging clinical scenarios, including robotic correction of severe varus and valgus deformities, and extended his expertise to hip replacement, publishing on acetabular cup placement precision with over 70 citations. With more than 960 total citations across his body of work, his longitudinal research — spanning short-term evaluations to two-year multicenter follow-ups — has provided the evidence base that continues to drive robotic surgical innovation forward.
