Description
Hyung Bin Park and Kyu-Hak Jung memorialize a pioneer of shoulder and elbow surgery in a 2025 obituary. Their subject is a Korean professor of orthopedics who died in August 2025 at the age of sixty six. He trained at Kyung Hee University, earning his medical degree and later master's and doctoral degrees there. Fellowships at home and abroad, including at Columbia, shaped his specialty.
He spent most of three decades at a major medical center, led an orthopedics department early in his career, and kept treating patients as a medical director after retiring in 2024. He was among the first in Korea to perform reverse total shoulder replacement in a university hospital. The notice credits him with advancing orthopedic medicine and training the next generation of surgeons.
