Je-Hyoung Yeo

About

Je-Hyoung Yeo is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work focuses on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through robotic-assisted techniques and biomechanical analysis. His primary research areas include surgical alignment methods—specifically comparing mechanical and kinematic knee alignment—and their impact on long-term functional outcomes. Yeo’s most significant contribution is his landmark 2018 study, which demonstrated no difference in clinical outcomes or gait parameters between mechanical and kinematic alignment in robotic TKA, a finding that has garnered 80 citations and influenced surgical practice. He further validated these results with an eight-year follow-up study, reinforcing the equivalence of the two methods during walking. Yeo’s work is notable for its rigorous methodology, including randomized controlled trials and detailed gait analysis, providing critical evidence for surgeons debating alignment strategies. His research has been cited over 90 times, underscoring its impact on orthopedic literature. By clarifying that both alignment approaches yield comparable results, Yeo has helped refine robotic TKA protocols, ultimately improving patient care and surgical decision-making.
