About

Dr. Virginia Cinelli is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing robotic-assisted arthroplasty, particularly in knee surgery. Her primary research areas include the application of imageless robotic systems in complex revision procedures and the optimization of surgical techniques for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Dr. Cinelli’s major contribution lies in her pioneering 2024 study, "The use of an imageless robotic system in revision of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty," which has already garnered 22 citations—a remarkable achievement for a recently published work. This study addresses a critical gap in the literature by describing a novel surgical technique that enhances precision and reproducibility in revision UKA-to-TKA procedures, a notoriously challenging operation. Her work is notable for its practical, technique-focused approach, offering surgeons a clear roadmap to improve patient outcomes while reducing variability. Dr. Cinelli’s research is highly regarded for its translational impact, directly influencing surgical practice and robotic system design. With her innovative contributions, she is shaping the future of minimally invasive, technology-driven orthopedic surgery.
