Publications

Before moving into aesthetic and regenerative medicine, I trained and practised in orthopaedic surgery at Singapore General Hospital and the National University Hospital. Sixteen peer-reviewed papers came out of that work, thirteen of them indexed in PubMed. I am first author on seven. They are listed in full below, each linked to its record so you can read the original rather than take my word for it.

At a glance

  • 16 peer-reviewed publications, spanning 2009 to 2016
  • 13 indexed in PubMed, the US National Library of Medicine database
  • First author on 7
  • 238 citations by other researchers, recorded by Crossref as at 1 September 2026
  • Published in journals including the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American Volume), Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, European Spine Journal and The Knee
  • Work carried out at Singapore General Hospital and the National University Hospital

What the research covers

The body of work falls into four areas, and they are the same areas that inform how I assess musculoskeletal problems today.

  • Spine — surgical site infection in minimally invasive versus open spinal surgery, treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures, cervical facet dislocation, and the prevalence of lumbar scoliosis in a 7,075-patient multiracial Asian cohort.
  • Knee and arthroplasty — computer navigation and joint line restoration in total knee replacement, unicondylar arthroplasty, meniscal pathology, and patellofemoral pain.
  • Shoulder — long-term outcomes of arthroscopic Bankart repair, and whether first-time anterior dislocations should be stabilised arthroscopically.
  • Trauma and general orthopaedics — atypical fracture after radiotherapy, analgesia after burns debridement, and parathyroid analogues in fracture healing.

How this list was checked

Every author name and initial, year, volume, issue and page range on this page was matched field by field against the MEDLINE record for that paper on 1 September 2026. Where an earlier version of this list and MEDLINE disagreed, MEDLINE was taken as correct. Three items are not indexed in PubMed and say so; they link to the publisher instead, or to an archived copy where the publisher has ceased trading. No paper carries a borrowed identifier.

Author initials are not consistent between records because MEDLINE indexes the same person differently on different papers. Those inconsistencies are reproduced rather than tidied, so that each name matches what you will see when you open that paper.

Publication record last verified 1 September 2026. More about my training and current practice is on the about page.
