Adjunct Associate Professor Chen Yongsheng is a Head of Division & Senior Consultant in the Division of Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at both the National University Hospital (NUH) and Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH).
Adj A/Prof Chen graduated medical school at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2008, completed residency training in Orthopaedic Surgery at NUHS in 2017 and was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh.
In 2019, he was conferred the MOH Healthcare Manpower Development Programme (HMDP) award to pursue fellowship training in complex orthopaedic trauma at the Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH). He went on to receive the AOTrauma Fellowship in 2023, gaining advanced training across seven centres in Thailand in complex pelvic and acetabular trauma, bony reconstruction, and revision surgery for malunion, nonunion, and infection.
His clinical practice covers all aspects of orthopaedic traumatology, including:
- fractures in older persons (geriatric fractures);
- peri-articular fractures (fractures around major joints in the body);
- pelvic and acetabular fractures;
- open fracture management;
- fracture related infections;
- osteomyelitis and severe soft tissue infections;
- bone loss, fracture malunion and nonunion;
- lower limb deformity correction;
- bone transport;
- limb length discrepancy; and
- complex diabetic foot problems including Charcot arthropathy.
A strong advocate for limb salvage, Adj A/Prof Chen regularly employs advanced reconstructive strategies to avoid major amputation in patients with limb-threatening conditions such as severe injuries, critical bone defects, chronic infection, and diabetic foot complications. His surgical interests include Ilizarov techniques, computer-assisted hexapod deformity correction, and customised 3D printed implants, working closely with a multidisciplinary team to restore limb function.
