About

Dr. Xuekang Pan is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for spinal trauma, with a particular focus on thoracolumbar fractures. His most impactful contribution addresses a critical clinical debate: the comparative effectiveness of robot-assisted (RA) versus traditional freehand (FH) pedicle screw fixation. In his landmark 2023 study, Dr. Pan conducted a rigorous 1-year follow-up observation, providing vital evidence on the accuracy and efficacy of RA percutaneous screw placement. This work, which has already garnered 4 citations, directly informs surgical decision-making by clarifying the real-world benefits of robotic assistance in spinal surgery. Beyond this core study, Dr. Pan’s research portfolio demonstrates a sustained commitment to improving patient outcomes through technological innovation and evidence-based practice. His findings are particularly valuable for orthopedic residents and spine fellows seeking to understand the practical advantages of robotic systems in complex fracture management. By systematically comparing surgical approaches, Dr. Pan helps bridge the gap between emerging technology and clinical application, solidifying his reputation as a thoughtful contributor to the evolution of minimally invasive spinal surgery.
