Intensive Specialized Training Program in Joint Surgery

(ACL · TKR · HTO)

• Barun Sesang HospitalA Government-Certified Center of Excellence in Joint Care
• Barun Sesang Hospital is a government-accredited medical institution certified by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Koreaand officially designated as a Specialized Joint Hospital. The hospital has successfully maintained its status as a specialized hospital for four consecutive accreditation cycles, reflecting consistent excellence in clinical quality, patient safety, and medical outcomes.
• As a dedicated joint specialty center, Barun Sesang Hospital delivers highly personalized treatment through multidisciplinary teams of experienced specialists. Each patient receives customized care based on precise diagnosis, advanced technology, and evidence-based protocols, resulting in exceptional treatment satisfaction and long-term clinical success.

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction Excellence
• Barun Sesang Hospital’s clinical research and surgical outcomes in ACL reconstructionhave been internationally recognized and published in leading peer-reviewed medical journals. Our studies demonstrated that applying allogeneic Achilles tendon grafts combined with remnant-preserving ACL reconstruction techniquessignificantly reduces tunnel widening and postoperative complications.
• One of the most critical factors for successful ACL reconstruction is secure graft fixation. The Achilles tendon allograft allows bone-to-bone fixation in both the femoral and tibial tunnels, ensuring superior stability while minimizing tunnel expansion and improving long-term graft durability.
• In addition, the hospital has developed proprietary surgical techniques, including preservation of the infrapatellar fat padand remnant ligament preservation, which are consistently performed by all surgeons at Barun Sesang Hospital and can be observed through our international training and fellowship programs.
• 
  
• Advanced Total Knee Replacement Surgery
• Barun Sesang Hospital performs total knee replacement surgery based on principles of bloodless surgery and minimally invasive techniques, significantly reducing surgical trauma and accelerating postoperative recovery.
• Through the expertise of highly experienced surgeons, operative time has been substantially reduced. The hospital’s simultaneous bilateral rapid knee replacement systemshortens hospitalization while minimizing physical burden, particularly for elderly patients.
• In addition, robot-assisted knee replacement surgeryenables ultra-precise alignment and real-time accuracy verification, further enhancing surgical safety, implant longevity, and functional outcomes.
• 
  
• High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) & Cartilage Regeneration
• While traditional osteoarthritis treatment focused on slowing disease progression, modern orthopedic care emphasizes active cartilage regeneration and joint preservation. One of the most advanced therapies is Cartistem®, a umbilical cord blood–derived stem cell therapy, which has demonstrated outstanding outcomes when combined with High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO).
• Barun Sesang Hospital is among the leading Cartistem treatment centers in Korea and surpassed 1,000 cumulative surgical cases as of 2025, reflecting extensive clinical expertise and proven outcomes.
• HTO is highly effective for patients with varus (bow-leg) deformity caused by excessive medial knee loading. When combined with cartilage regeneration therapy, optimal biomechanical correction and cartilage healing can be achieved.
• Through institutional research on combined HTO and Cartistem therapy, our joint specialists confirmed significant pain reduction, accelerated cartilage regeneration, and long-term functional improvement. These results were published in the SCI-indexed international journal The Knee(2021), validating the clinical effectiveness and scientific significance of this treatment approach.
• 
  
• Global Education, Research & Innovation Leadership
• Barun Sesang Hospital has continuously operated international physician training and fellowship programs, sharing advanced surgical techniques and extensive clinical expertise with medical professionals from around the world.
• The hospital objectively validates treatment effectiveness through comprehensive clinical data and research outcomes, which have been published in numerous SCI-indexed international medical journals.
• In addition, Barun Sesang Hospital operates an affiliated Cartilage Regeneration Research Institute, leading fundamental research in joint disease treatment. As the first specialized hospital in Korea selected for a large-scale national research project, the institute actively conducts research to validate cartilage regeneration efficacy and develop next-generation treatment technologies.
