Medical Journals on KNEE
Dr Gerard Ee
Dr Gerard Ee is a highly experienced orthopaedic surgeon with a strong focus on knee conditions and minimally invasive joint treatments.
Trained in the UK and Singapore, he has honed his surgical skills at leading institutions such as National University Hospital and Singapore General Hospital. Dr Ee has treated a wide range of knee disorders, from sports-related injuries to degenerative joint disease, using both surgical and non-surgical approaches tailored to each patient’s needs.
He is also a dedicated clinical researcher with multiple peer-reviewed publications in esteemed medical journals, including The Knee, Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, and the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, where his work has contributed to advancements in knee arthroplasty, joint preservation, and computer-assisted surgery.
Here are some of the published medical journals authored by Dr Gerard Ee, showcasing his research findings and contributions to the understanding and treatment of knee conditions.
Management of the neglected and healed bilateral cervical facet dislocation

Neglected and healed bilateral cervical facet dislocations are rare and complex, often requiring a staged surgical approach. This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis, as delayed management may result in circumferential bony fusion. A posterior–anterior–posterior (P–A–P) approach proved effective in restoring alignment and stability, with excellent long-term outcomes and no neurological compromise.
Computer navigation is a useful intra-operative tool for joint line measurement in total knee arthroplasty
Ee Wen Wei Gerard, Ronald Grelsamer, Garrett Moss
This study found that joint line changes ≥4 mm during computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were associated with significantly poorer clinical outcomes at both 6 months and 2 years. Patients with smaller shifts (<4 mm) showed better Oxford, Function, Knee, and SF-36 scores. Computer navigation enabled precise intraoperative joint line assessment, helping improve surgical outcomes
Minimally invasive Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty in a patellectomized patient

This case study shows that a partial knee replacement (UKA) using a minimally invasive approach can work well for patients who had their kneecap removed in the past. After five years, the patient had no pain, walked normally, and regained strength without knee instability. This suggests UKA may be a good option when only one part of the knee is damaged.
The patellofemoral syndrome; the same problem as the Loch Ness Monster?
Ee Wen Wei Gerard, Ronald Grelsamer, Garrett Moss,
The key finding highlights that “patellofemoral syndrome” lacks a consistent clinical definition and fails to meet the criteria of a true medical syndrome. Despite being widely used, it encompasses a broad and heterogeneous group of anterior knee pain presentations. The term reflects diagnostic uncertainty, and the authors advocate for using “anterior knee pain” to describe the symptom without implying a specific pathology.
