[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwanju] Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital announced on the 16th that Professor Park Yongbeom of the Department of Orthopedics was invited to the international conference 'Current Concept in Arthroplasty 2022' held in India, where he performed a live knee arthroplasty surgery.

The conference was attended both online and offline by hundreds of orthopedic doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals from the United States, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, the Middle East, and Africa, including Professor Park, an authority on knee joint disease treatment, Dr. Neil Sheth from the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, and Dr. Lee Rubin from Yale University Hospital.

Professor Park performed a total knee arthroplasty. Total knee arthroplasty is a surgery that replaces the damaged area with a specially manufactured artificial joint when the cartilage is torn or degenerative changes cause the joint to wear out or be damaged, resulting in pain and loss of function. Because it is a highly complex surgery requiring precision, it must be performed by experienced and skilled medical personnel.

During this live surgery, Professor Park demonstrated the surgical procedure both online and offline. Live surgery helps overcome the difficulties faced by medical staff in countries with relatively limited medical capabilities who find it challenging to attend academic conferences and training sessions held overseas regularly, and it holds educational value.

Professor Park said, "Based on our research achievements so far, this shows that the knee arthroplasty surgical techniques we perform are recognized worldwide," adding, "I hope to further develop these techniques to help patients' health and happy lives after artificial joint surgery."

Currently serving as the Director of the Joint Center at Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital, Professor Park specializes in treating knee joint diseases. He continues to publish research on surgical techniques for accurate ligament balancing during knee arthroplasty and the precision of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty in international academic journals, leading advancements in knee arthroplasty surgical methods.
