About
Ken Lee Puah is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic‑assisted arthroplasty, particularly for the most challenging hip reconstruction cases. His major contributions lie in demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the Mako robotic‑arm system in complex primary total hip arthroplasty (THA)—including patients with hip dysplasia, ankylosing spondylitis, and post‑traumatic arthritis. Notably, his pioneering work on robot‑assisted conversion of arthrodesed hips to THA, published in a 2020 study of 45 ankylosing spondylitis patients, has become a cornerstone reference for surgeons tackling this technically demanding procedure. With his most‑cited papers accumulating 20 and 15 citations respectively, Puah’s research has directly shaped clinical protocols for high‑risk populations. His case series and retrospective analyses provide the evidence base that has helped expand the indications for robotic assistance beyond routine primary THA, improving precision and outcomes where traditional techniques fall short. For students and researchers in orthopedic surgery, Puah’s work exemplifies how focused clinical investigation can translate into safer, more reproducible surgical solutions for patients with complex hip pathologies.
