Professor Dongwon Lee of Konkuk University Hospital Listed in 'People Who Brighten Korea'

Professor Dongwon Lee of the Department of Orthopedics at Konkuk University Medical Center announced on the 10th that he was recently listed in the 'People Who Illuminate Korea' by the Biological Research Information Center (BRIC).

In 2014, Professor Dongwon Lee published a paper titled "A Study on Posterior Root Tear of the Medial Meniscus" in the English journal of the Korean Knee Society (Knee Surg Relat Res), which has been cited more than 120 times to date and was selected as one of the top cited papers by BRIC Hanbit.

Posterior root tear of the medial meniscus is a condition that can rapidly worsen knee osteoarthritis and commonly occurs in middle-aged women in countries like Korea and Japan, where sitting on the floor is prevalent. Professor Lee said, "This listing is due to the comprehensive and in-depth literature review from basic research on posterior root tear of the medial meniscus to clinical outcomes after repair surgery, which has attracted the interest of many orthopedic surgeons and has been cited in numerous studies." He added, "I am responsible for treating knee osteoarthritis in younger patients while operating the Meniscus Transplant Clinic at Konkuk University Medical Center," and stated, "I will widely promote the excellence of Korean medicine in the field of the meniscus, the heart of the knee."
