About
Dr. Chung Hui James Tan is a leading orthopedic researcher specializing in shoulder biomechanics and surgical techniques for glenohumeral instability. His work focuses on optimizing remplissage procedures—a critical intervention for engaging Hill-Sachs defects—to improve patient outcomes and joint function. In his most-cited study (123 citations), Tan conducted a pioneering navigated robotic biomechanical analysis comparing three remplissage techniques, demonstrating their differential effects on tendon coverage and shoulder kinematics. This research provided essential evidence for surgeons seeking to prevent defect engagement while preserving range of motion. Beyond this landmark paper, Tan has contributed extensively to understanding shoulder pathology and surgical innovation, with his work cited widely in clinical and biomechanical literature. His achievements include advancing robotic-assisted surgical research, which offers unprecedented precision in evaluating joint mechanics. Tan’s findings have directly influenced operative strategies, helping to refine remplissage methods for enhanced stability and reduced complication rates. For students and researchers, his work exemplifies the integration of engineering principles with clinical practice, offering a model for evidence-based orthopedic innovation.
