About
Dr. Fulong Dong is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive spine surgery, particularly for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. His major contributions lie in advancing robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (RAPKP), where he has systematically compared unilateral versus bilateral approaches to optimize patient outcomes. His most cited paper, a 2025 retrospective study of 78 patients, demonstrates that unilateral RAPKP can achieve comparable efficacy to bilateral techniques while potentially reducing operative time and radiation exposure—a finding with direct clinical significance for frail, elderly patients. This work has already garnered 6 citations shortly after publication, signaling its rapid impact in the field. Dr. Dong’s research is distinguished by its focus on integrating robotic precision with practical surgical decision-making, helping to refine treatment protocols for thoracolumbar fractures. His studies are essential reading for spine surgeons and residents seeking evidence-based guidance on adopting robotic assistance in kyphoplasty, and his ongoing work promises to further shape the evolution of minimally invasive spinal care.
