About
Juhyun Son is a leading researcher in orthopedic biomechanics and spinal surgery, with a focus on improving surgical outcomes through advanced engineering and technology. His work centers on the biomechanical advantages of robot-assisted techniques in spinal fusion, particularly in posterior lumbar interbody fusion. In his landmark 2016 prospective randomized controlled trial, Son demonstrated that robot-assisted pedicle screw fixation significantly enhances screw placement accuracy and reduces complications compared to freehand methods, a finding supported by patient-specific finite element analysis. This study, with 42 citations, has influenced clinical protocols and inspired further research into robotic applications in spine surgery. Son’s contributions bridge the gap between mechanical engineering and surgical practice, offering quantitative evidence for the adoption of robotic systems. His research not only advances patient safety but also provides a foundation for personalized surgical planning, making him a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive spinal procedures.
