About

Dr. Zhuo-Dong Tang is a leading orthopedic surgeon and researcher specializing in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with a focused interest in comparing emerging domestic surgical platforms against established international systems. His most cited work, a 2024 retrospective study, provides critical early evidence on the clinical and radiographic outcomes of the Chinese HURWA robot versus the imported Brainlab Knee3 system. By analyzing 93 patients with knee osteoarthritis, Dr. Tang demonstrated that both robotic platforms achieve comparable accuracy in implant positioning and early functional recovery, offering valuable data for the global adoption of cost-effective, domestically produced surgical robots. Although his citation count is currently modest (3 citations), this study represents a pioneering contribution to the field of robotic orthopedics, particularly in evaluating technology transfer and localization. Dr. Tang’s research directly addresses the pressing need for accessible, high-precision surgical tools in developing healthcare systems, positioning him as an emerging authority in the comparative effectiveness of robotic arthroplasty platforms.
