Asst Prof Bryon Teo

Asst. Prof. Dr. Bryon Teo is a highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) with subspecialty expertise in sports injuries and degenerative joint conditions of the knee, hip and shoulder. His clinical practice focuses on arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery, ligament reconstruction, cartilage restoration, fracture fixation and robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery, with an emphasis on joint preservation and helping patients return safely to their daily activities and sports.

Dr Teo graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and obtained his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh). He subsequently undertook advanced international training in Europe and Asia in sports orthopaedics and minimally invasive joint surgery. While on scholarship, he completed advanced fellowship training with the prestigious Orthopadische Chirurgie Munchen in Munich, Germany, where he received specialised training in knee and hip arthroscopy, cellular and scaffold-based cartilage repair, and biological augmentation for ligament and tendon reconstruction. He further broadened his experience through clinical observerships at leading orthopaedic centres across Europe and Korea, refining his expertise in shoulder arthroscopy, sports injury surgery and biologically augmented joint preservation techniques in improving healing and recovery after surgery.

Dr Teo maintains an active academic and research portfolio. His work has been published in leading international journals, including the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Open) and The Bone & Joint Journal. He was part of the bisphosphonate-related atypical fractures focus group, whose work produced important practice-changing results that guided the management of these complex fractures. In recognition of his academic contributions, he has received several distinctions including the global ESCEO-Eli Lilly Scholarship and Singhealth Publish! Award for his exceptional work in arthroscopy and arthroplasty. Dr Teo is well-respected as a Khoo Scholar and represented Singapore as a delegate at the Global Young Scientist Summit in 2021.

At SGH, Dr Teo is committed to patient-centric care, guided by the principle of delivering the right treatment for the right patient at the right time. His commitment to compassionate care and dedication to his patients has been recognised through multiple awards, most notably the Service With A Heart Award.

Beyond clinical practice, Dr Teo contributes actively to the orthopaedic community and academic medicine. He previously served as Chairman of the Singapore Orthopaedic Association Trainee Committee and was in the 40th Singapore Orthopaedic Association Ex-Co. A committed educator and mentor, he regularly hosts international fellows who visit Singapore to observe and learn from his clinical and surgical practice. Dr Teo holds faculty appointments and has received multiple teaching awards from NUS, Duke-NUS and Singhealth in recognition of his exemplary contributions to both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.
