About
Yu-Fen Chiu is an orthopedic researcher specializing in the intersection of advanced surgical technologies and joint arthroplasty, with a particular focus on total hip and total knee replacement procedures. Her work sits at the cutting edge of surgical innovation, systematically evaluating how robotic assistance and computer navigation influence clinical outcomes, component positioning accuracy, and patient safety. Chiu's most impactful contribution examines the accuracy of acetabular component placement in robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty across different surgical approaches, garnering 23 citations since 2022 and providing surgeons with critical comparative data for operative decision-making. Her subsequent investigations have addressed a clinically significant concern: whether the extended operative times associated with navigation and robotic tools elevate periprosthetic joint infection risk. Her propensity score-matched and cohort analyses — accumulating 15 and 13 citations respectively — offer reassuring evidence that these technologies do not compromise infection outcomes. Beyond infection risk, Chiu has explored blood management optimization in computer-assisted knee arthroplasty and intraoperative fracture rates in technology-guided hip procedures. Collectively, her research provides a rigorous, evidence-based framework helping surgeons confidently adopt emerging technologies while understanding their true risk-benefit profiles.
