The Orthopaedic Surgery Department brings together surgeons from different specialties with a common interest in improving the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal diseases and injuries.
We are currently conducting research into hip and knee replacement, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tendon disease, acute spinal injuries, musculoskeletal trauma and hand tendon dysfunction and repair.

Goal: Total knee replacement may be stable or unstable in the sagittal plane. Sagittal stability can be measured by Lachman test, anterior drawer KT1000. Sagittal stability is an important factor determining reported outcomes and function.
Kinematics of a medial ball and socket and a single radius cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty designs were compared using KneeKG in this study.
Re: Assessment of the proximal femoral morphology using plain radiograph – Can it predict the bone quality?
This project investigates the potential factors that influence the implant size disagreement between the pre-operative planning and the actual implant selected intraoperatively. The 3D assisted pre-operative planning and implant simulation method are involved in this project.
Digital twin is an AI concept that has recent advances in digitizing our physical world real-timely using historical data. This project explores a digital twin model that continuously and dynamically corrects its insight considering the patient-specific parameters, refine patient and treatment classifications, predict the future health trajectory of individuals to allow for early interventions.
The accurate cutting of patella for a correct thickness in different quadrants is essential for the success of the prosthesis implantation. This project aims at designing a patella cutting tool that has the ability to position and cutting a patella accurately and steadily.
