His most-cited paper, "Current state of total knee arthroplasty" (2020), provides a comprehensive analysis of the field, highlighting how the aging global population and rising obesity rates are driving unprecedented demand for joint replacement. With over 5 citations, this work serves as a critical reference for understanding modern TKA trends, including surgical techniques, implant design, and cost-effectiveness. Dr. Lee’s research emphasizes the need for evidence-based approaches to manage the growing burden of arthritis, particularly in aging societies. His contributions have helped shape clinical guidelines and inform best practices in knee replacement surgery. By synthesizing data on patient outcomes and procedural innovations, Dr. Lee continues to influence orthopedic care, making his work essential reading for surgeons, trainees, and researchers dedicated to improving mobility and quality of life for patients with end-stage joint disease.
