About

Xukai Xue is a leading figure in the advancement of spinal surgery, with a primary research focus on the precision and safety of pedicle screw insertion. His most cited work, a landmark 2017 study comparing four guided technologies—including robotic assistance—has garnered 110 citations and is essential reading for surgeons navigating the transition from traditional freehand techniques to modern, technology-driven approaches. Xue’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the clinical accuracy of robotic, navigation, and other guided systems for treating lumbar degenerative disease, providing critical evidence that robotic technology offers superior outcomes. This comparative analysis has directly influenced surgical protocols and training, helping to standardize the adoption of minimally invasive, high-precision methods. His work is not merely technical; it addresses the core challenge of reducing complication rates while improving patient recovery. By rigorously benchmarking emerging technologies against one another, Xue has established a framework for evidence-based decision-making in the operating room. For students and researchers in orthopedics and neurosurgery, his research represents a pivotal resource for understanding how innovation translates into tangible improvements in spinal care.
