About

Dr. Young Joo Shin is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through precision technology and long-term outcomes. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted joint replacement, implant design, and the clinical durability of cruciate-retaining prostheses. Dr. Shin’s most impactful contribution is her landmark 10-year follow-up study on robotic TKA with a cruciate-retaining implant, which demonstrated that robotic assistance enables significantly more accurate leg alignment and component positioning compared to conventional techniques. This work, cited 137 times, has provided critical evidence supporting the long-term benefits of robotic surgery in improving implant survival and patient function. Her research has helped establish robotic TKA as a reliable standard for achieving reproducible, high-quality outcomes in complex joint reconstruction. By rigorously evaluating both radiographic and clinical results over a decade, Dr. Shin has offered the orthopedic community essential data on the sustained advantages of robotic precision. Her studies continue to influence surgical decision-making and implant selection, making her a key figure in the evolution of modern knee replacement surgery.
