Biography
Dr Henry FU is a joint replacement surgeon now serving as division chief in the Division of Joint Replacement Surgery and Director of Hong Kong West Cluster Joint Replacement Centre. He leads the joint replacement service at Queen Mary Hospital, Duchess of Kent Joint Replacement Centre and the University of Hong Kong Shenzhen Hospital.
Dr Fu is an expert in robotic assisted hip and knee surgery. He received formal training in world renown hospitals including Hospital for Special Surgery (NY, USA), Rothman Institute (PA, USA) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MA, USA). Upon returning from training, Dr Fu set up the robotic joint replacement service at the University of Hong Kong by securing a donation of HK$15 million to acquire the Mako robotic arm surgical system. Having performed over 700 robotic hip and knee replacements, he is currently one of a handful of certified robotic surgery trainers in Hong Kong and has certified over 100 surgeons both locally and internationally to perform robotic hip replacement surgery.
Dr Fu is now the Director of the Hong Kong West Cluster Joint Replacement Centre at Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital where 450 joint replacement operations are performed annually. Using enhanced recovery protocol, 95% of patients can be discharged 2 days from surgery.
Dr Fu received the Clinical Service Excellence Award from the Faculty of Medicine at HKU for his contributions towards developing robotic joint replacement. He was previously awarded the Young Achiever Award from Hospital Authority and Distinguished Young Fellow Award from the Hong Kong College of Orthopaedic Surgeons in recognition for his outstanding leadership of the Joint Replacement Centre, spearheading robotic surgery and setting the benchmark for improved patient care.
