About
Dr. Yau Hong Ng is a pioneering orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and robotic joint replacement surgery. His primary research focuses on developing intelligent algorithms to enhance the precision and efficiency of robotic total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), with a particular emphasis on soft tissue balancing and automated bone cut planning. Dr. Ng’s most notable contribution is his novel AI algorithm, which earned him the prestigious P Balasubramaniam Award at the 2024 Singapore Orthopaedic Association Annual Scientific Meeting. This algorithm addresses a critical challenge in rTKA—the complex manual planning of femoral and tibial implant positioning across all degrees of freedom to achieve surgeon-defined targets for gaps, alignment, and bone cuts. His work demonstrates that AI-driven planning can significantly improve surgical accuracy while reducing operative duration, a breakthrough with profound implications for patient outcomes and surgical workflow efficiency. With his award-winning research already garnering attention in the field, Dr. Ng is establishing himself as a leading voice in the digital transformation of orthopaedic surgery, bridging the gap between computational innovation and clinical practice.
