ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON
Formerly the Director of Sports Service at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Chief of the Sports and Exercise Medicine Service at Singapore General Hospital (SGH), Dr Poh is currently the Medical Director of Advanced Orthopaedic and Sports Centre.
Upon the completion of his Master of Medicine (Orthopaedic Surgery) postgraduate degree from the National University of Singapore, and obtaining his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in Orthopaedic Surgery, from Edinburgh, the United Kingdom, Dr Poh received the prestigious Health Manpower Development Plan training award to pursue specialty fellowship training in Hip Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine in Germany. Dr Poh became the first fully fellowship-trained surgeon in hip preservation surgery in Singapore, pioneering new techniques in hip arthroscopy and osteotomy, and he went on to establish the Singhealth Joint Hip Preservation Service to optimise the care of hip patients across all Singhealth hospitals.
Besides hip preservation surgery, Dr Poh Seng Yew, a knee specialist in Singapore, is also well-versed in complex knee and shoulder arthroscopy, osteotomy, multi-ligamentous ligament reconstruction, meniscal reconstruction, cartilage resurfacing, hip, knee, and shoulder arthroplasty, as well as trauma surgery.

KEY PROCEDURES
Using advanced arthroscopic, minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, Dr Poh and his team of orthopaedic doctors in Singapore offer a full spectrum of joint preservation and joint replacement options to ensure appropriate, effective treatment for all patients.
With our knees bearing our body weight and stress, injuries tend to occur from overuse or repetitive overload, and this can lead to a wide range of symptoms as well as conditions. Knee joint injuries and degenerative problems can limit mobility and have an impact on your lifestyle. As knee specialists in Singapore, we understand that knee problems can cause pain and frustration, whether you’re a professional athlete or someone who is active. While minor knee pains can be easily treated with self-care measures or conservative treatment options, severe cases tend to require surgery.
Using a multifaceted approach to patient care for their specific injury, our team of orthopaedic surgeons provides personalised care by taking time to fully understand your condition and offer you with the best possible treatment options.
Some of the knee procedures Dr Poh specialises in include:
As the body’s largest ball-and-socket joint, the hip joint fits together in a way that allows for fluid movement whilst still being able to withstand repeated motion. Despite its stability, age and use can result in the wear and tear as well as damage to the cartilage; muscles and tendons within the hip joint can also become overused. Furthermore, bones in the hip can also be susceptible to fractures during a fall or other injuries. Any of these can lead to hip pain and reduced range of motion.
It is recommended to seek medical attention if you have persistent hip pain affecting your activities; hip pain at night or when you’re at rest is also a cause of concern.

Some of the hip procedures Dr Poh specialises in include:
Are you suffering from a recent shoulder injury or experiencing shoulder pain? Shoulder pain is usually caused by injuries or damage to the rotator cuff, bones, or joint components. While we commonly see athletes coming in to seek treatment for their shoulder injuries, people from all walks of life can also be susceptible to shoulder pains.
As the shoulder is a complex joint that allows for a wide range of motion for our arms, shoulder injuries can result in localised pain and even impact arm as well as hand function. Tendons, ligaments, muscle, cartilage, and nerve disorders can cause shoulder pain and mobility problems; hence it is best to seek medical advice if you are experiencing shoulder pain.
