About

Po-Quang Chen is a leading innovator in the field of spinal surgery, with a primary research focus on the development and clinical validation of robotic-assisted navigation systems for pedicle screw placement. His work directly addresses the critical challenge of improving surgical accuracy and safety in complex spinal fusion procedures, particularly in minimally invasive contexts and for patients with congenital anomalies. Chen’s major contributions include the design and assessment of a self-developed "point spine" navigation system, which aims to reduce the risks associated with manual screw implantation. His most-cited paper, "Results of using robotic-assisted navigational system in pedicle screw placement" (2019, 14 citations), provides pivotal evidence on the accuracy and safety of this emerging technology, while his subsequent 2020 study (8 citations) further refines the system’s application. Through these highly relevant technical reports, Chen has established himself as a key figure in the ongoing debate over robotic assistance in orthopedics, offering concrete data that helps bridge the gap between technological development and clinical practice. His work is essential reading for researchers and surgeons seeking to understand the practical benefits and limitations of spinal robotics.
