About
Dr. Zhicheng Tong is a pioneering researcher in orthopaedic surgery and robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty, with a focused expertise in the development and validation of surgical robotic systems for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). His most cited work, the 2021 experimental sawbone study on the ‘Skywalker’ surgical robot, represents a foundational contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Tong rigorously evaluated the osteotomy accuracy of the Skywalker system using 20 sawbone femur and 20 sawbone tibia-fibula models, demonstrating its potential to reduce error in bone cuts and component positioning—a critical advancement over conventional techniques. This work, cited 11 times, has helped establish benchmarks for preclinical validation of robotic systems in orthopaedics. Dr. Tong’s research directly addresses the pressing clinical need for improved precision in TKA, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and implant longevity. By bridging engineering and surgical practice, he is shaping the next generation of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery. His contributions are particularly notable for their translational impact, providing essential evidence that supports the safe adoption of robotic technologies in operating rooms worldwide.
