About
Dr. Ji Sup Hwang is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision in degenerative spinal disease. His primary research focus is the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted versus freehand techniques in spinal fusion, particularly in posterior lumbar interbody fusion. His most cited work, a 2018 prospective, randomized controlled trial, directly compared 1-year clinical and radiological outcomes between robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation and the freehand method. This landmark study, with 40 citations, provided critical evidence on the accuracy and safety of robotic assistance, demonstrating its potential to improve screw placement and reduce complications. Dr. Hwang’s contributions have helped shape modern minimally invasive spine surgery, offering surgeons and patients data-driven insights into the benefits of technological integration. His rigorous clinical trial methodology has set a standard for evaluating new surgical tools, making him a key figure in the ongoing evolution of spinal care.
