Yong‐gang Su

About

Yong-gang Su is a prominent orthopedic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of robot-assisted and computer-navigated surgical techniques for complex fracture fixation. With a career spanning nearly two decades, Su has made significant contributions to improving the precision and safety of minimally invasive orthopedic procedures, particularly in challenging anatomical regions including the pelvis, sacroiliac joint, femoral neck, and calcaneus. Su's most impactful work — his 2017 study on robot-assisted percutaneous sacroiliac screw placement using the TiRobot™ system (106 citations) — demonstrated a compelling advancement over conventional freehand techniques in an anatomically demanding procedure prone to malposition errors. His subsequent investigations into femoral neck fracture fixation using bi-planar robot navigation (49 citations) and S2 iliosacral screw fixation (40 citations) further cemented his reputation as a leading voice in surgical robotics. Notably, Su has also pioneered the application of 5G-enabled remote robotic navigation for pelvic fractures, signaling a forward-thinking approach to the future of telesurgery. Collectively, his publications reflect a sustained commitment to enhancing surgical accuracy, reducing patient risk, and integrating emerging technologies into everyday orthopedic practice.
