About

Jinpeng Du is a spine surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on the advancement of computer-assisted and robotic technologies in spinal surgery. His research focuses on evaluating and comparing the accuracy, safety, and clinical efficacy of guided surgical systems — particularly robotic platforms, intraoperative navigation, and optical tracking technologies — for complex spinal procedures including pedicle screw fixation, deformity correction, and cervical spine stabilization. Du's most influential contribution, a 2017 comparative study of four guided technologies for pedicle screw insertion, has accumulated over 110 citations and helped establish a rigorous framework for assessing surgical guidance systems. His subsequent work has repeatedly featured the TINAVI orthopedic robot — a Chinese-developed surgical system — systematically benchmarking it against established tools like the O-arm navigation system across diverse pathologies, from thoracolumbar reconstruction and hangman fractures to adolescent congenital scoliosis and upper cervical instability. Through a body of work totaling over 170 citations, Du has made meaningful contributions to the evidence base supporting robotic-assisted spine surgery. His research is particularly valuable for surgeons and healthcare systems evaluating the clinical adoption of emerging robotic platforms, offering practical, outcome-driven comparisons that bridge innovation and patient care.
