His major contributions center on developing and refining surgical techniques for recurrent patellar dislocation, with a special emphasis on growth plate-sparing procedures. Dr. Zhan’s most-cited paper, a 2025 retrospective study on robot-assisted individualized medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in adolescents, demonstrates his pioneering approach to combining advanced technology with pediatric-specific care. This work addresses a critical challenge: adapting successful adult surgical techniques to protect open growth plates in younger patients. With 2 citations already, this study is gaining attention for its innovative methodology and clinical relevance. Dr. Zhan’s research has significant impact on improving outcomes and reducing recurrence rates in a vulnerable population, bridging the gap between adult orthopedic principles and pediatric safety. His dedication to individualized, robot-assisted procedures marks him as a rising authority in pediatric orthopedic surgery, offering safer, more effective solutions for young athletes suffering from chronic patellar dislocation.
