About
Hwa Sen Chua is a leading orthopedic researcher focused on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through robotic-assisted technologies and precision measurement. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA), postoperative recovery optimization, and CT-based radiographic assessment methodologies. Chua's most notable contribution is his 2024 study on the real-world accuracy of robotic-assisted TKA and its impact on expedited recovery, which has garnered 15 citations. This work addresses the critical issue of persistent patient dissatisfaction—affecting 20% of TKA recipients—by demonstrating how robotic assistance enhances bone cut accuracy, implant positioning, and gap balance control. His 2025 investigation into CT-based software-generated measurements further advances the field, showing that Mako SmartRobotics™ software enables more objective assessments of the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle axis and joint line obliquity compared to traditional methods. By leveraging pre-operative CT scans increasingly available with RATKA adoption, Chua's research provides surgeons with more reliable, reproducible data for surgical planning. His work represents a significant step toward personalized, data-driven arthroplasty that improves both surgical precision and patient outcomes.
