About

Dr. Eva Wong is a leading orthopaedic biomechanics researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of knee and shoulder joint stability. Her research primarily focuses on the mechanical function of soft tissues—specifically the menisci, ligaments, and the rotator cuff—in maintaining joint integrity under load. Her most influential contribution is her seminal 2000 paper, “Importance of the medial meniscus in the anterior cruciate ligament‐deficient knee,” which has garnered over 425 citations. This work established the critical secondary stabilizing role of the medial meniscus in ACL-deficient knees, demonstrating that its loss dramatically increases anterior-posterior laxity. This finding has had a profound impact on clinical decision-making, emphasizing meniscal preservation during ACL reconstruction. Dr. Wong also pioneered direct *in situ* force measurement techniques in the glenohumeral joint capsule (98 citations), revealing the complex, region-specific contributions of capsular ligaments and the rotator cuff to shoulder stability. Her cumulative work, including studies on ACL injury and osteoarthritis (38 citations), provides a rigorous biomechanical foundation for understanding injury mechanisms and improving surgical repair strategies.
