About

Dr. Weihua Xu is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing total hip arthroplasty (THA) through robotic-assisted and computer-assisted surgical techniques. His major contributions focus on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes, particularly through meta-analyses and personalized surgical planning. His most-cited paper, a 2022 meta-analysis comparing robotic-assisted to conventional THA (24 citations), provides critical evidence that robotic systems enhance radiological outcomes, such as cup positioning, while maintaining comparable clinical results. Dr. Xu further innovated by developing personalized cup positioning guides for robotic THA (2020, 7 citations), addressing the limitations of one-size-fits-all mechanical alignment to reduce impingement and dislocation risks. His broader work in computer-assisted orthopedic surgery (2017, 3 citations) underscores his commitment to integrating technology into surgical practice. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Xu’s research is shaping the future of precision orthopedics, offering surgeons and patients data-driven tools for safer, more effective joint replacements. His work is essential reading for researchers and clinicians exploring the intersection of robotics and personalized medicine in orthopedics.
