 Robert A. Kayal, MD is the founder, president and CEO of Kayal Orthopaedic Center, PC. Dr. Kayal was raised in Bergen County, NJ, and attended the Ramapo-Regional High School in Franklin Lakes, NJ. He subsequently enrolled at Pennsylvania State University, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Pre-Medicine. Immediately afterward, he began medical school, earning his MD from UMDNJ-NJMS in 1994. Dr. Kayal completed his 5-year Orthopaedic Surgery training in New York in 1999, and currently resides in Bergen County, NJ. He is married, and has five lovely children.
Dr. Kayal has expertise in the following areas of orthopedic surgery: minimally invasive surgery, computer-assisted navigation technology for joint replacement surgery, gender-specific knee replacement implants designed specifically for men and women, high-flexion knee replacement implants designed to bend 155 degrees, partial (unicompartmental) knee replacements, hip arthroscopy, cartilage transplantation, platelet rich plasma injection therapy, bone density testing, and the treatment of osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Robert A. Kayal, MD is the regional pioneer of the partial knee and the patellofemoral knee replacement technology, and has been performing these procedures for years. In fact, Kayal has performed more of these surgeries than any other orthopaedic surgeon in the region. In addition to introducing this technology to the medical community years ago, he also introduced the concept of "outpatient joint replacement surgery" to the local community and continues to perform outpatient unicompartmental and patellofemoral knee replacements on a routine basis. Dr. Kayal possesses the distinction of performing the first-ever minimally invasive partial knee replacement and patellofemoral knee joint replacement at The Valley Hospital and at Patient Care Associates, LLC, and performs this procedure at Hackensack University Medical Center, as well. These surgical procedures incorporate only a 3- to 4-inch incision, as opposed to the typical 8- to 12-inch incision often required for total knee replacement surgery. As a result, these patients are discharged the same day of surgery, endure no cutting of tendons or muscle, recuperate much faster and experience much less pain than those undergoing traditional knee replacement surgeries. Furthermore, Dr. Kayal has brought cartilage transplantation to NY and NJ, performing operations that delay or even preclude the need for joint replacement surgery. Dr. Kayal also delivers breakthrough hip arthroscopy and platelet rich plasma injection therapy to area patients.
Robert A. Kayal, MD was trained in the NY-Metropolitan region and has received AOA Honors. He is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, as well as an active member of the New Jersey Orthopaedic Society, Orthopaedic Surgeons of New Jersey, Bergen County Medical Society and the American Medical Association. Dr. Kayal enjoys privileges at renowned hospitals in Bergen County and serves on the medical staff at both The Valley Hospital and Hackensack University Medical Center. Moreover, Dr. Kayal serves as the Director of Orthopaedic Surgery at Patient Care Associates, LLC, a state-of-the-art outpatient surgical center in Englewood, NJ.

- Using the Material Testing System (MTS) machine, we examined the biomechanical properties of thoracic spine motion segments fixed with the stainless steel Codman Sof'wire Cable Instrumentation System versus 20-gauge plain surgical wire in spinal fixation.
- Tested, in dogs, the efficacy of a newly designed Osteonics unipolar femoral prosthesis to be used in human hip arthroplasty. This study evaluated an ARC deposited commercially pure titanium surface with and without Hydroxyapatite coating using the HARC canine molecular hip model. After tetracycline labeling, femurs were studied histologically and the MTS machine was used to measure the push-out time of the implant.
- Studied the material and structural changes associated with infection of rabbit femurs as determined by scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM).
- Synovial tissue lining bilateral Zimmer carbon reinforced polyethylene knee prostheses was removed and studied histologically for the presence of carbon debris.
- Harvested bones from human and dog cadavers for use in later research.
