About
Patrick Shu-Hang Yung is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work is transforming total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through the rigorous evaluation of robotic-assisted surgical technologies. His primary research areas focus on surgical accuracy, implant kinematics, and clinical outcomes in robotic-assisted TKA, with a particular emphasis on comparing image-free and image-based robotic systems. Yung's major contributions include demonstrating that robotic-assisted TKA significantly improves alignment precision and early clinical outcomes compared to navigation systems, and that coronal plane alignment changes do not adversely affect outcomes with specific implant designs. His work has garnered substantial attention, with his most cited paper on surgical accuracy in robotic-assisted TKA accumulating 18 citations, and his broader body of work collectively cited over 55 times. Notably, Yung has pioneered investigations into ligament tension assessment reliability and in vivo kinematics for various robotic implant designs, including bi-cruciate retaining and stabilised prostheses. His multicentre trial on open-platform robotic systems represents a significant advancement in surgical flexibility. Through these contributions, Yung is helping to define best practices in robotic-assisted knee replacement, ultimately aiming to improve patient satisfaction and long-term functional outcomes.
