I can't recommend Dr. Chan Kin Yuen at all.
It's been 15 months since he did the surgery to reconstruct my torn anterior crucial ligament (ACL) in my knee but I am still feeling discomfort when I walk despite doing months of physiotherapy. It's not pain but discomfort that I can feel whenever I walk.
Prior to the surgery, I didn't have any pain or discomfort in day-to-day activity whatsoever. The knee was unstable but it was fine for day-to-day activity. The knee instability only affected me if I am involved in some rigorous activity where there's a lot of fast or twisting movement on the knee. The knee gave way only when it was overextended such as when playing sports; only then was there pain.
Now, while my knee is more stable, I have discomfort every day and I feel the knee every time I walk. Not one day do I not think or feel the discomfort in my knee. I regret going for the ACL reconstruction surgery by Dr. Chan Kin Yuen. Please stay away from him.
If you don't have any pain or discomfort in your daily activity, I would advise you not to go for any ACL reconstruction surgery. If you have to go, please go to another orthopaedic surgeon.

Hi, my knee is painful especially when playing futsal. It has been some years. I can still play but got some pain when there is a pressure to the knee.
Any Orthopaedic surgeons doctor (who won't overcharge) to recommend ?
This is my conclusion from everyone's
contribution here:
1. Go for scan to find out what problem: Go for MRI scan. Xray is not detail enough. This can be done any hospital.
2. After scan we will know the cause. Possible cause: arthritis, ACL, meniscus tear
3. Solution: Operation (3-5 days hospitalization) and long-term (3 months or more) supplement maintenance with Glucosamine + Chondroitin
4. Cost is RM15k-RM20k. Use personal and company medical card.
Doctor recommendation
1. Dr. Gan at KPJ Damansara
2. Dr Chan Kin Yuen in Gleneagles KL.
3. Dr. Khoo at Columbia Asia Hospital in Puchong
4. Dr Low Eu Huat from Tung Shin.
5. Dr Tai from KPJ.
6. Dr Suresh George at Sunway
