About
Dr. Yajing Cao is a pioneering researcher in the field of orthopaedic surgery and medical robotics, with a specialized focus on minimally invasive pelvic trauma interventions. Her most notable contribution is the development of a teleoperated robotic system for percutaneous transiliac-transsacral screw fixation—a technique that addresses the extreme difficulty of navigating screws through six layers of cortical bone in the pelvis. This innovation is critical for stabilizing vertical shear fractures, as the long screw channel demands exceptional precision. Although her landmark 2023 paper currently holds 2 citations, its conceptual and technical novelty signals strong potential for future impact in robotic-assisted trauma surgery. Dr. Cao’s work bridges the gap between surgical robotics and complex pelvic anatomy, offering a safer, more accurate alternative to freehand techniques. Her research is particularly valuable for young engineers and surgeons seeking to understand how teleoperation can overcome the biomechanical challenges of long-axis screw placement. By reducing radiation exposure and improving screw trajectory accuracy, Dr. Cao is helping to set new standards for pelvic fracture management.
