About
Ye‐Yeon Won is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through innovative alignment techniques and precision instrumentation. Her primary contribution lies in championing kinematically aligned TKA, a paradigm-shifting approach that corrects arthritic deformity by restoring each patient’s unique constitutional alignment rather than imposing a standardized mechanical axis. This method preserves the knee’s natural tibial-femoral articular surfaces, aiming to improve functional outcomes and patient satisfaction. Her landmark 2020 study, “Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty with Patient-Specific Instrument,” has garnered 23 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field. Won’s research bridges the gap between surgical theory and practical application, demonstrating how patient-specific instruments can enhance the reproducibility and accuracy of kinematic alignment. Her work is particularly notable for challenging conventional alignment dogma, offering a more personalized approach to joint replacement. For students and researchers, Won exemplifies how targeted innovation in surgical technique can reshape clinical practice, with her findings increasingly cited as a foundation for next-generation TKA protocols.
