About
Dr. Roman Steika is an emerging leader in orthopedic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and complex joint reconstruction. His research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with challenging knee pathologies, particularly those requiring conversion from prior procedures like patellofemoral arthroplasty or those with retained hardware. Dr. Steika’s major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted TKA can mitigate the historically worse outcomes associated with conversion surgeries, offering a more precise and bone-preserving alternative. His 2023 work on conversion to robotic-assisted TKA (5 citations) highlights this paradigm shift, while his 2025 study (3 citations) further shows that robotic assistance allows for smaller polyethylene liner sizes during simultaneous hardware removal, preserving more native bone stock. Though early in his career, Dr. Steika’s work is already influencing surgical planning, suggesting that preoperative robotic mapping can overcome distorted anatomical landmarks. His research promises to reduce revision rates and improve long-term implant survival, positioning him as a key voice in the future of minimally invasive, technology-driven knee arthroplasty.
