About

Yongqiang Sun is a leading orthopedic researcher whose work centers on advancing joint replacement surgery through robotic-assisted techniques, with a particular focus on unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). His most cited paper, "Robotic-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a review" (2021, 37 citations), stands as a definitive synthesis of the field, systematically evaluating the rationale, operative systems, and clinical trade-offs of robotic-assisted UKA (rUKA). This comprehensive review has become a foundational reference for surgeons and researchers navigating the shift toward precision-guided, minimally invasive knee procedures. Sun’s contributions are especially impactful in clarifying the pros and cons of robotic systems—balancing improved implant alignment and reduced soft tissue trauma against learning curves and cost considerations. His work directly addresses the critical gap between technological promise and clinical evidence, helping to guide evidence-based adoption in orthopedic practice. By meticulously analyzing data from major databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, Sun has established himself as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of joint arthroplasty, where his insights continue to shape both surgical decision-making and future research directions in robotic orthopedics.
