About
Lequn Shan is a pioneering orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the clinical application of robotic-assisted spine surgery, with a particular focus on improving the accuracy and safety of complex spinal procedures. His major contributions lie in the comparative evaluation of emerging surgical technologies, most notably the TiRobot (Tinavi) orthopedic robot system. In his highly cited 2020 study (25 citations), Shan demonstrated that the TiRobot offers superior precision over the O-arm navigation system for thoracolumbar screw implantation, a critical advancement for reconstructing spinal stability. He further refined this work by investigating the added value of real-time optical tracking in robotic-assisted pedicle screw fixation (13 citations), providing key evidence for optimizing surgical workflows. More recently, Shan has ventured into the challenging domain of atlantoaxial dislocation with high-riding vertebral artery (AAD-HVA), publishing a preliminary study (2024) that explores the feasibility and advantages of robot-assisted treatment over traditional fluoroscopic guidance. His research is instrumental in defining the role of surgical robotics in orthopedics, directly impacting patient outcomes by reducing screw misplacement and improving safety in high-risk spinal reconstructions.
