About

Dongquan Shi is a leading figure in the field of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery, with a focused expertise in total hip arthroplasty. His major contributions center on advancing the precision and accessibility of surgical robotics, particularly through the clinical implementation of the MAKO robotic-arm system in China. Shi’s work demonstrates how robotic assistance can enhance accuracy and repeatability, offering critical support to less experienced surgeons and improving patient outcomes. His most cited papers, including "Robots in orthopedic surgery" (17 citations) and "New technique: practical procedure of robotic arm-assisted (MAKO) total hip arthroplasty" (16 citations), serve as foundational guides for integrating these technologies into clinical practice. By detailing pre-operative planning and surgical workflows, Shi has helped bridge the gap between engineering innovation and real-world application. His research not only highlights the transformative potential of semi-automatic and passive robotic systems but also establishes a practical roadmap for their adoption in central hospitals. For students and researchers, Shi’s work exemplifies how translational research can elevate surgical standards, making complex procedures more reliable and reproducible for the next generation of orthopedic surgeons.
