About
Young-Wan Moon is an orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of computer-assisted and robotic joint replacement surgery. Specializing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA), Moon has dedicated his career to improving the precision, alignment, and clinical outcomes of joint replacement procedures through innovative robotic technologies. Moon's most influential contribution, a 2012 cadaveric study comparing robot-assisted and conventional TKA using three-dimensional CT assessment (92 citations), demonstrated that robotic systems could substantially improve implant alignment — a critical factor in preventing premature mechanical failure and patellofemoral complications. His subsequent research extended these findings to minimally invasive TKA and hip arthroplasty, consistently showing that robotic assistance enhances component positioning accuracy over traditional manual techniques. A particularly notable 2015 prospective randomized trial (60 citations) examined robotic short-stem hip arthroplasty, combining two cutting-edge surgical trends to evaluate both precision and short-term patient outcomes. Across his body of work, Moon's research has accumulated over 200 citations, establishing him as a pioneering voice in validating robotic surgical systems for routine orthopedic practice and shaping how surgeons approach joint replacement in the modern era.
