About
Dr. Sivashankar Chandrasekaran is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing hip preservation and arthroplasty through precision surgical techniques. His major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-arm assisted total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) versus conventional approaches, particularly in optimizing acetabular component placement and bone preservation. In his highly cited 2017 matched-pair controlled study (50 citations), Dr. Chandrasekaran demonstrated that RTHA results in smaller acetabular cup sizes relative to the native femoral head, suggesting superior bone conservation—a critical finding for improving long-term outcomes and revision rates in younger, active patients. His research has helped establish robotic assistance as a tool for enhancing surgical accuracy and minimizing tissue disruption. With a growing body of work that bridges biomechanics, surgical innovation, and patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Chandrasekaran’s studies are widely referenced by hip surgeons and researchers seeking evidence-based approaches to joint reconstruction. His contributions continue to shape the evolution of minimally invasive, technology-driven hip surgery.
