About

Sam Dalal is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing knee arthroplasty techniques to improve patient outcomes. His key research areas include bicompartmental arthroplasty, navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and traditional TKA, with a particular emphasis on functional recovery and joint preservation. Dalal’s major contribution lies in investigating whether replacing only the damaged compartments of the knee—while retaining healthy ligaments—can offer functional benefits over full compartment replacement in osteoarthritis patients. His study, “Functional Recovery After Bicompartmental Arthroplasty, Navigated TKA and Traditional TKA” (2013), has garnered 3 citations and provides early evidence for a more targeted surgical approach. While his citation count is modest, his work addresses a critical question in orthopedic surgery: balancing the extent of intervention with the preservation of natural knee mechanics. Dalal’s research is especially relevant for surgeons seeking to optimize recovery and long-term function, and it contributes to the broader dialogue on patient-specific arthroplasty strategies. His efforts highlight the ongoing evolution toward less invasive, more anatomically respectful joint replacement techniques.
