Hailong Du

About

Hailong Du is a leading figure in orthopaedic surgical robotics, dedicated to making fracture repair safer, more precise, and less invasive. His core research focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems for long bone and spinal fracture reduction, integrating advanced visual servoing and biomechanical modeling. Du’s major contributions include pioneering a removable hybrid robot system for closed diaphyseal fracture reduction, which dramatically reduces intraoperative radiation exposure and the risk of infection compared to traditional open surgery. His work on a visual servo-based teleoperation robot (29 citations) has set a new standard for accuracy in fracture alignment. In the spine, he has demonstrated the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (21 citations) and spinal navigation for pedicle screw placement, enabling procedures under local anaesthesia with exceptional stability. With a recent comprehensive review on image-guided surgical robotics (2024, 18 citations), Du continues to shape the field’s future. His cumulative impact—evident in over 150 citations across his most-cited works—underscores his role in translating complex robotic technology into tangible clinical benefits, reducing trauma for patients and improving outcomes in orthopaedic surgery.
