About

Dr. Gujun Xu is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher specializing in robotic-assisted joint arthroplasty, with a particular focus on complex hip reconstruction. His major contributions center on the application of the Mako robotic system for total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)—a challenging condition often requiring precise acetabular component placement. In his most cited work (2021, 4 citations), Dr. Xu evaluated early outcomes of Mako robot-assisted THA in 55 DDH cases (75 hips), demonstrating improved accuracy in cup positioning and favorable early functional recovery compared to conventional techniques. This research has helped establish robotic assistance as a viable solution for anatomically deformed hips, reducing the risk of dislocation and leg-length discrepancy. Dr. Xu’s work is foundational for surgeons adopting robotic platforms in complex primary and revision arthroplasty. With a growing citation impact, his studies are frequently referenced in technical guides and clinical protocols for DDH management. His ongoing research continues to refine robotic workflows and expand indications, positioning him as a key contributor to the evolution of precision joint replacement surgery.
