Introduction:
As an attending physician in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery in Taipei Medical University Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, Dr. Wu’s speciality is in sports medicine, arthroplasty and biomechanics. He got his master degree in the Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering in National Yang-Ming University in Taiwan in Aug. 2008. Dr. Wu was a research fellow in Orthopaedic Bioengineering Laboratory in Massachusetts General Hospital(MGH) and Harvard Medical School(HMS) from 2008.10 to 2009.09. He worked on in-vitro knee biomechanics research using robotic testing system and in-vivo knee kinematics using dual fluoroscopic imaging system (DFIS) techniques.

Dr. Wu give lectures to the medical students, interns and residents about basic orthopaedic knowledge and general features of the musculoskeletal disorders. He also focus on the primary care for orthopaedic patients from the clinical point of view in internship teaching programs. Throughout the residency training programs, Dr. Wu emphasize cross-disciplinary teaching modalities, breakthrough technologies, and innovative ways to advance training in both clinical skills and scientific knowledge.
Residency 2000-2005
Dr. Wu completed five-year comprehensive orthopaedic residency training in TSGH, the principal affiliated teaching hospital of NDMC in Taiwan. The training programs included trauma, spine, sports medicine, hand & upper extremity, orthopaedic oncology and foot & ankle surgeries.
Research interests:
- Fixation devices used in ACL reconstruction
- The roles of AM & PL bundles of ACL playing in knee kinematics
- Biomechanical characteristics, repair and regeneration of meniscus
- Mechanoregulation of chondrocyte proliferation
