About

Dr. Chien-Chun Chang is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on improving surgical precision in spinal deformity correction. His most impactful contribution, detailed in the 2019 study "The Accuracy of 3D Printing Assistance in the Spinal Deformity Surgery," has garnered 36 citations and addresses a critical challenge in the field: the high cost and spatial demands of robotic and navigated surgical systems. Dr. Chang’s research demonstrates that 3D-printed patient-specific guides can achieve superior pedicle screw placement accuracy compared to traditional free-hand and fluoroscopy-guided techniques, offering a more accessible and cost-effective alternative for complex spinal surgeries. This work has significant implications for broadening the availability of advanced surgical precision, particularly in resource-limited settings. By validating the clinical utility of 3D printing in orthopedics, Dr. Chang has helped pave the way for personalized, low-cost solutions in spinal deformity correction, making him a notable figure in the advancement of surgical technology and patient outcomes.
