About
Gloria Yan-Ting Lam is a rising leader in orthopaedic surgery, specializing in the precision and outcomes of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Her research centers on comparing surgical technologies—specifically image-free versus image-based robotic systems—and their impact on implant alignment, ligament balance, and patient recovery. In her landmark 2023 study on surgical accuracy (18 citations), she demonstrated how different robotic platforms influence lower limb alignment and component positioning in total knee replacement. Lam has also advanced understanding of coronal plane alignment, showing that modest alignment changes do not compromise outcomes for specific implant designs. Her work on pre-resection ligament tension assessment (7 citations) established the reliability of imageless robotic systems in achieving soft-tissue balance, a critical factor for surgical success. More recently, she has compared robotic-assisted TKA with accelerometer-based navigation, confirming superior accuracy and early clinical outcomes. Lam’s contributions are shaping the future of personalized, technology-driven knee replacement, offering surgeons evidence-based guidance for selecting robotic platforms and implant strategies.
