About

Yikai Liu is a leading researcher in orthopaedic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic‑arm‑assisted joint arthroplasty. His work centers on improving the precision of bone resection, implant positioning, and limb alignment in total knee and hip arthroplasty. Liu’s most cited study (51 citations) prospectively evaluated robotic‑arm‑assisted total knee arthroplasty (RATKA), demonstrating significantly higher accuracy in achieving planned bone cuts and component placement compared to conventional techniques. In a subsequent randomized controlled trial (20 citations), he assessed a novel whole‑process robotic arm for total hip arthroplasty, reporting superior prosthesis positioning and reduced variability. These contributions have established Liu as a key investigator in the translation of robotic technology to clinical practice, addressing longstanding challenges in implant longevity and patient outcomes. His work is widely referenced by surgeons and engineers developing next‑generation orthopaedic robotics, and his prospective, controlled study designs set a benchmark for evidence‑based evaluation of surgical innovation.
