About
Dr. Tong-Tong Zhang is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing spinal surgery through robotic assistance and intraoperative imaging. Her most-cited study, "Accuracy and safety of robot assisted pedicle screw placement" (2022), systematically evaluated the precision and safety of robotic systems compared to conventional C-arm fluoroscopy in spinal procedures. By analyzing 36 patients treated between 2019 and 2020, Dr. Zhang demonstrated that robotic guidance significantly improves screw placement accuracy while reducing radiation exposure and complication rates. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in spine surgery—minimizing iatrogenic injury during pedicle screw fixation—and has garnered attention from peers, with 3 citations to date. Her work bridges the gap between emerging robotic technologies and clinical practice, offering evidence-based protocols that enhance surgical outcomes. Dr. Zhang’s research is particularly impactful for orthopedic surgeons and trainees seeking to integrate automation into complex spinal interventions, positioning her as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive, technology-driven spine care.
