With advances in robotic arm joint replacement technology, the Department of #Orthopaedics and #Traumatology of HKUMed is the first in Hong Kong to utilise the technology for joint replacement surgery in public hospital setting.

“Robotic technology provides superior joint line restitution in partial knee replacement with a short learning curve phenomenon. It can be an excellent teaching tool for young surgeons,” said Dr Yan Chun-hoi, Clinical Associate Professor and Chief of the Division of Joint Replacement Surgery.

Dr Henry Fu Chun-him, Honorary Clinical Assistant Professor who was in charge of the robotic joint replacement project commented: “Joint replacement surgery for patients with complex hip and knee deformities used to be a nightmare for both the surgeon and the patient, but with the aid of robotic technology, surgery is a lot safer and guaranteed.”
