Staff surgeon
National Cancer Center, Republic of Korea
Dr. Park is an orthopaedic oncologist whose expertise lies in the surgical treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. He is deeply committed to improving outcomes for patients with musculoskeletal tumors through both clinical excellence and translational research. His clinical practice spans a wide spectrum of oncologic reconstruction, ranging from limb-salvage procedures for primary bone sarcomas to minimally invasive stabilization surgeries for skeletal metastases in advanced cancer patients.
In his research, Dr. Park focuses on biomechanics and the application of engineering principles to orthopaedic oncology. He has a particular interest in the development and validation of 3D-printed, patient-specific implants designed to restore bone stability and function after tumor resection. Through computational modeling and finite element analysis, his work aims to optimize implant design for enhanced mechanical performance and long-term osteointegration.
Beyond biomechanics, Dr. Park also explores the biological behavior of sarcomas and the tumor–bone microenvironment, seeking to integrate biomechanical and biological insights into more durable reconstructive strategies. He believes that future progress in orthopaedic oncology will rely on multidisciplinary collaboration between surgeons, engineers, and basic scientists.
Currently serving as a visiting scholar at Stanford University, Dr. Park continues to advance his research on customized implant design and metastatic bone disease. His long-term goal is to translate technological innovation into practical surgical solutions that extend mobility and improve quality of life for patients facing complex musculoskeletal tumors.
