About
Dr. Lin Zeng is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic-assisted spinal surgery, with a focused expertise in the development and clinical validation of autonomous surgical systems for orthopedic procedures. Dr. Zeng’s major contributions center on the design and evaluation of the "Orthbot" system, a novel robotic arm engineered for the precise, automated placement of Kirschner wires (K-wires) during lumbar fusion surgeries. In a landmark multi-centre, randomized controlled clinical study (2020, 22 citations), Dr. Zeng demonstrated that the Orthbot significantly improves accuracy and reduces variability compared to traditional free-hand techniques. This work was further refined in a subsequent single-center trial (2021, 6 citations), which validated the independent robotic arm's reliability in a controlled setting. By systematically proving the safety and efficacy of this technology, Dr. Zeng has laid critical groundwork for the broader adoption of robotics in minimally invasive spine surgery, directly addressing the need for greater precision and reproducibility in complex fusion procedures. Their research stands as a key reference for surgeons and engineers advancing intelligent orthopedic systems.
