About

Jialun Chi is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on adult spinal deformity (ASD) and complex trauma in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Chi has made significant contributions to evaluating the precision and safety of robotic-assisted surgery, demonstrating through comparative analysis that robotic systems can enhance pedicle screw placement and reduce complications in ASD procedures—work that has already garnered early citations. In a notable case study, Chi detailed the successful closed reduction and stabilization of a rare extension-distraction injury in an 83-year-old patient with ankylosing spondylitis, showcasing a non-operative approach to managing three-column spinal injuries. This work highlights Chi’s expertise in both cutting-edge surgical technology and challenging trauma scenarios. With a growing citation record and a focus on improving outcomes for high-risk spinal patients, Chi’s research is shaping best practices in deformity correction and trauma management.
