About
Kwok Wah Chan is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work focuses on advancing knee arthroplasty through robotic-assisted surgery and optimizing procedural outcomes. His major contributions center on evaluating the clinical benefits of robotic technology in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA), particularly within public healthcare systems. In his highly cited 2025 study on UKA trends, Chan examines whether robotic-assisted techniques reduce hospital stays and emergency readmissions compared to conventional methods, while also analyzing the timing of unilateral versus bilateral procedures. His companion study on robotic TKA demonstrates that robotic assistance safely reduces length of stay in an Asian public healthcare setting, comparing outcomes across robotic, computer-navigated, and conventional approaches. With over 20 combined citations for these recent works, Chan’s research is shaping evidence-based guidelines for adopting robotic surgery in orthopedics. His work is notable for its focus on real-world, territory-wide data, offering practical insights for surgeons and healthcare administrators seeking to improve efficiency and patient outcomes in knee replacement surgery.
