About

Dr. Susannah Clarke is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work is transforming the landscape of knee arthroplasty through precision engineering and surgical innovation. Her primary research focuses on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), where she has made seminal contributions by comparing and advancing surgical technologies. In her landmark 2013 study, "Unicompartmental knee arthroplasties: Robot vs. patient specific instrumentation," which has garnered 36 citations, she provided critical evidence on the accuracy and outcomes of robotic versus patient-specific instrumentation. Building on this, her 2018 paper "A novel patient-specific instrument design can deliver robotic level accuracy in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty" (14 citations) demonstrated a breakthrough: a custom instrument that achieves robotic-level precision without the cost and complexity of a robot. This work has significant implications for making high-accuracy UKA more accessible. Additionally, her contribution to "Osteotomies: Advanced and Complex Techniques" (2018) showcases her expertise in complex bone realignment procedures. Dr. Clarke’s research is not only highly cited but also directly influences surgical practice, offering practical solutions that balance accuracy, cost, and patient outcomes. Her work stands as a benchmark for the future of personalized, minimally invasive joint surgery.
