About
Dr. Kevin Ki-Wai Ho is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through robotic-assisted technologies. His primary research areas include surgical accuracy, implant alignment, and ligament balance in knee replacement surgery. Dr. Ho has made significant contributions by comparing image-free versus image-based robotic systems, demonstrating that both approaches can achieve high precision in lower limb alignment and component positioning. His landmark 2023 study on image-free robotic-assisted TKA (18 citations) established foundational evidence for this technology’s effectiveness, while his subsequent work (14 citations) confirmed excellent early clinical outcomes. Notably, his 2025 investigation into coronal plane alignment revealed that changes in alignment do not necessarily compromise outcomes when using a 3-degree varus joint line design—a finding that challenges conventional wisdom. Dr. Ho has also pioneered research on pre-resection ligament tension assessment reliability (7 citations) and demonstrated that handheld imageless robotic systems outperform navigation in accuracy and early recovery. His innovative work on robotic burr preparation (2025) showed significantly improved cement penetration, a critical factor for implant longevity. Through over 50 citations across his key papers, Dr. Ho continues to shape the future of precision knee arthroplasty.
