Professor Jack Cheng, Emeritus Professor of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, was appointed honorary fellow in recognition of his exceptional achievements within his professions and his outstanding contributions to the University, and the wider community.

Professor Jack Cheng Chun-yiu is an eminent paediatric orthopaedics specialist. He graduated from The University of Hong Kong in 1976 and was awarded a Doctor of Medicine degree by CUHK in 1999. Since joining CUHK in 1983, Professor Cheng has made significant contributions to the University and the Faculty of Medicine by serving as the chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, associate dean of the Faculty of Medicine (Education), University Dean of Students and Pro-Vice-Chancellor, and has participated in several major University policy committees. He was also a member of the University Grants Committee from 2008 to 2013 and the Research Grants Council from 2014 to 2016, and is a former Director, Joint Planning Office and senior advisor for The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) School of Medicine. Professor Cheng was awarded Choh-ming Li Professor in Orthopaedics and Traumatology in 2015 and an emeritus professor upon his retirement in 2018.

A tender-hearted, proficient doctor and an orthopaedics specialist, Professor Cheng started his academic career at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of CUHK in 1983. Under the wing of the then Head of Department, Professor Leung Ping-chung, Professor Cheng focused his clinical expertise and research on paediatric orthopaedics, with special interest in the etiopathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. He was an active participant in the “Operation Concern” project which was initiated by Professor Leung on the mainland, the aim of which is to provide free treatment and healthcare services for people with musculoskeletal disabilities in the remote regions of China. In reminiscence, Professor Cheng recalled how the support team provided in the 1990s various clinical services, from performing orthopaedic surgery to the m installation of prosthetic orthotic appliances, for hundreds of suffering patients in the mountainous areas of Sichuan. Professor Cheng and the team did their best for these underprivileged people under very poorly-equipped and challenging environment. Over the past four decades, with dedication and limited resources, the warm-hearted Professor Cheng brought both hope and comfort to his patients, among them are often children affected by different neuromusculoskeletal problems including scoliosis (a three dimensional deformity of the spine). In Hong Kong, Professor Cheng had conducted, in addition to his teaching and clinical duties, focused basic science, clinical and epidemiological research related to the etiopathogenesis and treatment of scoliosis in children. Through his research findings and the long-term follow-up assessment, the Hong Kong community has come to recognise the impact of scoliosis on school children and how it could be diagnosed and treated through early screening and detection. Professor Cheng has made impressive contributions in the field of paediatric orthopaedics, and have not only served the community well but have also brought important insights to other healthcare professionals. For all that he has done, he has earned praise and respect from his peers, and deservedly so.

He has published over 400 articles in peer-reviewed international journals, given over 500 conference presentations, contributed to 19 book chapters and received more than 40 research related awards. He serves on the editorial boards of a number of international professional journals. He was president of the Hong Kong Orthopaedic Association, and a fellow and member of over 20 prestigious local and international professional and medical organisations including the International Pediatric Orthopaedic Think Tank IPOTT as one of the only two from Asia amongst the 100 international members in 1998.
