Dr Jeffrey Chew graduated from the National University of Singapore in 1989 and completed his postgraduate degree in 1994.
He is the co-designer of the PFC Sigma RPF High Flex Knee prosthesis (Johnson and Johnson Medical) which is a knee prosthesis designed especially for the Asian population, to allow for better range of knee flexion. This new knee design is the only MOBILE BEARING HIGH FLEXED knee prosthesis that is currently approved for use by the FDA. This knee implant design allows both increased flexion angles as well as imparting higher stability at high flexion angles, for example, during squatting postures.
His current sub-specialty interests are in hip and knee joint replacements as well as the treatment of arthritis. He is one of the largest users of the robot in robotic joint replacement (MAKOplasty) in the ASEAN region. This robotic knee system is the only system that allows for consistently reproducible precision in performing partial knee replacements. He is instrumental in bringing the robotic system to Asia. He also treats sports injuries around the hip and the knee.
