About

Sang-woo Jeon is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through rigorous clinical evaluation. His most-cited study, "Robot-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty Does Not Improve Long-Term Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes" (2019, 120 citations), challenges prevailing assumptions about robotic surgery in orthopedics. By demonstrating that robot-assisted TKA yields no significant advantages over conventional techniques in long-term patient-reported outcomes or radiographic alignment, Jeon’s research has prompted critical re-evaluation of costly surgical technologies. This landmark paper, widely referenced in systematic reviews and clinical guidelines, underscores his commitment to evidence-based practice and cost-effective patient care. Beyond this work, Jeon has contributed to comparative effectiveness research in joint replacement, emphasizing functional recovery and implant survivorship. His findings have influenced surgical decision-making globally, encouraging surgeons to weigh technological benefits against tangible patient outcomes. With a citation impact that reflects his role as a key voice in orthopedic debates, Jeon continues to shape the future of arthroplasty through methodologically rigorous studies that prioritize real-world results over technological novelty.
