About

Dr. Chih-Sheng Lin is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical precision and outcomes in spinal deformity correction. His primary research areas include the application of 3D printing, robotic assistance, and navigation technologies in complex spinal surgeries. Dr. Lin’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2019 study on the accuracy of 3D printing assistance in spinal deformity surgery, which has garnered 36 citations and demonstrated that 3D-printed patient-specific guides can significantly enhance pedicle screw placement accuracy compared to traditional free-hand and fluoroscopy-guided methods. This work addresses critical challenges in spinal surgery—namely, the high cost and spatial constraints of robotic and navigated systems—by offering a more accessible, yet equally precise, alternative. Dr. Lin’s research has profound implications for reducing surgical complications and improving patient outcomes, particularly in complex deformity corrections. His innovative approach to integrating additive manufacturing into clinical practice positions him as a key figure in the evolution of personalized, technology-driven spine surgery, making his work essential reading for surgeons and researchers seeking cost-effective precision tools.
