Core Surgical Services

Innovative Research and Development

The Orthopedics Department promotes interdisciplinary collaboration, combining multi-specialty teams to deliver innovative treatments.

1. Computer Assisted Disarticulating Spacer (CADAS) : With the growing number of joint replacement surgeries, our hospital receives many referrals for joint infections. In collaboration with the Exosome and Multi-dimensional Biomedical Translation Development Center, we have developed the CADAS active spacer, significantly improving patient quality of life and offering cutting-edge treatment.

2. Artificial Intelligence Development : The Orthopedics Department has made significant breakthroughs in AI development, collaborating with the hospital's Intelligent Center to enhance medical accuracy and reduce labor burdens.

3. Regenerative Medicine Applications : Leveraging advancements in basic research and regenerative medicine, our hospital combines basic sciences and clinical expertise to offer a comprehensive cell therapy program. This includes autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell therapy for treating degenerative knee osteoarthritis and cartilage damage, aiming to intervene early, prevent progression, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
