The Bone and Joint Center is a key discipline of Peking University International Hospital, headed by Professor Liu Xiaoguang. The department maintains close collaborative relationships with many senior experts from Peking University Third Hospital and Peking University People's Hospital, jointly forming a highly capable team of experts. It is a modern orthopedic center integrating medical care, teaching, scientific research, rehabilitation, and other functions.

The Bone and Joint Center currently comprises subspecialties including spinal surgery, joint surgery, minimally invasive joint surgery, and orthopedic trauma. Its areas of diagnosis and treatment include various types of spinal trauma and degenerative diseases; scoliosis and kyphotic deformities; various types of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and femoral head necrosis; minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment of various sports injuries and joint diseases; and various fractures of the limbs, nonunion, and bone defects.

The Bone and Joint Center widely performs various precise and minimally invasive orthopedic surgeries. With the existing medical equipment, the spine team performs percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy and spinal canal decompression for lumbar disc herniation and spinal canal stenosis, as well as robot-assisted navigated percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, among other procedures. It also has extensive clinical experience in treating thoracic spinal canal stenosis, severe kyphotic deformities of the spine, and severe lumbar spondylolisthesis. The joint team uses 3D printing technology to combine modern digital medical technology with the characteristics of orthopedics and carries out digitally assisted diagnosis and treatment before, during, and after surgery. The minimally invasive joint surgery team extensively performs minimally invasive arthroscopic treatment for various joint diseases throughout the body. The trauma team has extensive clinical experience in limb-salvage procedures for complex limb fractures accompanied by vascular and nerve injuries, as well as in using various flaps to repair exposed plates and bone following orthopedic surgery.

The Bone and Joint Center also extensively conducts teaching and scientific research on orthopedic diseases. It undertakes undergraduate clinical teaching for Peking University Health Science Center, undertakes multiple scientific research projects, and has published numerous academic papers in renowned domestic and international academic journals.

Under the leadership of Professor Liu Xiaoguang, the Bone and Joint Center aims to lead the development of orthopedic clinical practice and scientific research nationally and internationally, regards providing high-quality medical services to the general public as its responsibility, and pursues progress and innovation to build a modern orthopedic division integrating medical care, teaching, scientific research, rehabilitation, and other functions.
