About
Dr. Shota Shigekiyo is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His work focuses on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes through advanced assistive technologies. Dr. Shigekiyo’s major contribution is demonstrating that robotic-assisted TKA achieves significantly superior component alignment in the coronal plane compared to navigation-assisted TKA, as shown in his highly cited 2023 comparative study (13 citations). This finding has important implications for implant longevity and functional recovery. He has also authored a comprehensive 2025 systematic review of the four surgical assist robotic systems available in Japan—MAKO, ROSA, NAVIO/CORI, and VELY—clarifying their characteristics, accuracy, learning curves, and clinical results. This review serves as a critical resource for surgeons adopting these technologies. Dr. Shigekiyo’s work is shaping the future of joint replacement surgery by providing evidence-based guidance on robotic systems, ultimately aiming to enhance surgical reproducibility and patient satisfaction.
