About
Zhe Yi is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex wrist injuries, particularly scaphoid fractures and perilunate dislocations. Dr. Yi has made groundbreaking contributions by integrating arthroscopic and robotic technologies to treat challenging carpal pathologies. Their most notable achievement is the development of a novel mini-invasive technique combining arthroscopic-assisted reduction with robot-assisted fixation for trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocations, a rare and devastating injury. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 15 citations. Dr. Yi has also advanced treatment for scaphoid nonunion through arthroscopic bone grafting with robotic fixation, and their multicenter study on robot-assisted percutaneous scaphoid fixation demonstrated a remarkable 97% single-attempt guidewire placement success rate. With additional comparative cadaveric studies showing robotic superiority over freehand techniques, Dr. Yi’s cumulative work—totaling over 30 citations—is establishing new standards for precision and outcomes in hand surgery, making complex procedures safer and more reproducible.
