About

Dr. Jie Chang is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of spinal surgery through robotics and precision medicine. His primary research focuses on the application of robotic systems for treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), a growing global health crisis. Dr. Chang’s major contributions include demonstrating the superior accuracy and safety of robot-assisted percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) compared to traditional fluoroscopy-guided methods, a finding detailed in his highly cited 2022 study (18 citations). He is also the driving force behind the development and clinical validation of a novel orthopedic surgical robot for positioning and navigation. In a landmark 2022 clinical trial (13 citations), Dr. Chang’s team proved that their new system matches the feasibility and accuracy of existing commercial platforms, paving the way for wider adoption of robotic assistance in complex spinal procedures. By directly addressing the challenges of multi-segmental fractures and surgical precision, Dr. Chang’s work is not only advancing surgical technology but also significantly improving outcomes and recovery for elderly patients suffering from debilitating spinal injuries.
