About
Dr. Hongsheng Gu is a leading orthopaedic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing spinal surgery through robotics and precision instrumentation. His most impactful contribution is the development and clinical validation of the "Orthbot" robotic system, a novel surgical assistant designed for the automated placement of Kirschner wires (K-wires) during lumbar fusion procedures. In a landmark multi-centre, randomised controlled clinical trial involving 56 patients, Dr. Gu demonstrated that the Orthbot significantly improves the accuracy and safety of screw placement compared to traditional free-hand techniques. This study, which has garnered 22 citations, represents a critical step toward standardising robotic assistance in spinal surgery, reducing human error, and enhancing patient outcomes. Beyond this work, Dr. Gu’s research portfolio encompasses the broader integration of robotics and navigation technologies in orthopaedics, aiming to make complex spinal procedures more reproducible and less invasive. His achievements highlight a commitment to translating engineering innovations into tangible clinical benefits, positioning him as a key figure in the next generation of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery.
