About
Lingjia Yu is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical precision through robotic-assisted technologies and intraoperative monitoring. Her major contributions center on evaluating the efficacy and safety of robotic systems in total hip arthroplasty and spine surgery. In her landmark 2018 systematic review and meta-analysis, cited 137 times, Yu demonstrated that robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty enables more accurate preoperative planning and component positioning compared to conventional techniques, potentially improving implant survival and long-term outcomes. That same year, her meta-analysis of robot-assisted versus freehand pedicle screw fixation—cited 94 times—provided critical evidence that robotic guidance enhances screw placement accuracy in spine surgery. Most recently, Yu has explored the feasibility of using intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring to detect bone layer thickness during cervical spine surgery, a novel approach that could reduce complications in laminoplasty. Her work has been instrumental in shaping evidence-based guidelines for adopting robotic assistance in orthopedics, making her a key voice in the movement toward minimally invasive, technology-driven surgical care.
