About

Dr. Chun Hoi Yan is an orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing joint replacement surgery through robotic arm assistance. His primary research areas include unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and complex hip reconstruction, with a particular focus on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes. Dr. Yan’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that robotic-arm assistance significantly enhances radiological accuracy in UKA, as shown in his 2023 propensity score-matched study (14 citations). This work provides critical evidence that robotic technology can help surgeons achieve more consistent implant positioning, a key factor in long-term implant survival. He has also pioneered the use of robotic-arm assistance for technically demanding hip fusion takedown and conversion to total hip arthroplasty (7 citations), simplifying a procedure traditionally fraught with challenges. By showing that robotic navigation can replace fluoroscopic guidance in these complex cases, Dr. Yan has expanded the indications for robotic surgery. His research directly addresses the gap between surgical planning and execution, offering practical solutions for improving reproducibility in joint replacement. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Yan is establishing himself as a leading voice in the integration of robotics into orthopaedic practice, making his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers interested in the future of computer-assisted arthroplasty.
