About

Dr. Kwok-Sui Leung is a leading figure in orthopaedic trauma surgery and medical robotics, whose work bridges the gap between traditional surgical techniques and advanced automation. His primary research focuses on developing intelligent surgical systems, particularly passive/active hybrid robots designed to enhance precision in orthopaedic procedures. Dr. Leung’s most notable contribution is the invention of a novel hybrid robot that combines the flexibility of passive guidance with the accuracy of active robotic control, addressing critical limitations in image-guided navigation systems (IGNS). While conventional IGNS assist with entry point planning, they cannot prevent drill skiving or tool deviation—a problem his hybrid robot directly solves. This work, detailed in his 2012 paper (21 citations), has laid the foundation for safer, more reliable trauma surgeries. Dr. Leung’s impact extends beyond this single innovation; his research has influenced the design of surgical workflows and robotic systems used in orthopaedics worldwide. By integrating robotics with clinical needs, he has advanced the field of computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery, making procedures less invasive and more reproducible. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to translating engineering solutions into tangible surgical improvements, benefiting both surgeons and patients.
