About
Darren Keng Jin Tay is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work is transforming the landscape of joint replacement surgery. His primary research focus is the clinical and economic impact of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), a field in which he has made seminal contributions. Tay’s landmark 2016 prospective randomized trial, cited over 200 times, was among the first to demonstrate that robotic-assisted TKA leads to significant improvements in patient quality-of-life measures at two-year follow-up, moving beyond mere radiological accuracy to show tangible patient benefit. He has further advanced the field by authoring comprehensive technical reviews of systems like the THINK Surgical TSolution-One® and by conducting rigorous health-economic analyses, including a Markov decision analysis that established the cost-effectiveness of robotic TKA. His recent work, including studies on the VELYS® robotic system and enhanced recovery protocols, continues to push boundaries by showing reduced hospital stays, improved mobility, and better psychological outcomes. Through this prolific body of research—spanning over 300 total citations—Tay has been instrumental in validating robotic technology not just as a tool for precision, but as a means to deliver superior, more efficient patient care.
