About
Dr. Jaeyeon Hwang is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a focused expertise in comparing surgical alignment techniques to optimize patient outcomes. Her most-cited work, a 2025 study with 6 citations, provides a rigorous comparison between mechanically aligned conventional TKA (MA-CTKA) and functionally aligned robotic-arm-assisted TKA (FA-RTKA). This research is notable for its innovative use of hip-to-calcaneus radiographs to analyze parallelism to the ground and weight-bearing knee position, offering a more comprehensive biomechanical assessment than traditional methods. Dr. Hwang’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how functional alignment in robotic-assisted surgery can enhance postoperative joint kinematics and patient satisfaction, potentially reducing complications like implant loosening or gait abnormalities. Her work bridges the gap between surgical precision and real-world functional outcomes, making her a key figure in advancing personalized orthopedic care. Through her detailed, evidence-based analyses, Dr. Hwang is shaping the future of knee replacement surgery, providing valuable insights for both clinicians and researchers striving to improve mobility and quality of life for patients with end-stage knee arthritis.
