Bone and Joint Department

The Department of Bone and Joint Surgery of Peking University Shenzhen Hospital was established in 2001 and has now developed into a modern discipline distinguished by outstanding clinical strengths, robust scientific research capabilities, and a deep pool of talent. It is a Provincial Clinical Key Specialty of Guangdong Province and a “Dengfeng” discipline of a high-level key development hospital, as well as the only clinical key specialty in the field of bone and joint surgery and the Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Degenerative Diseases in Shenzhen. The department currently has 16 physicians, 25 nurses, and 9 full-time scientific research personnel, including 3 senior professionals and 7 associate senior professionals; 14 doctoral degree holders, 1 professor, 2 associate professors, 1 doctoral supervisor, and 3 master’s supervisors; 2 individuals serving as vice chairs of national academic specialty committees, 1 serving as vice chair of an academic specialty committee in Guangdong Province, and 2 serving as chairs of academic specialty committees in Shenzhen. The department currently has 80 open beds and annually receives more than 30,000 outpatient visits, admits more than 2,000 inpatients, and performs more than 1,500 difficult and complex operations. The Department of Bone and Joint Surgery has developed comprehensively in the diagnosis and treatment of common diseases and difficult, severe conditions, including joint replacement, trauma management, bone tumor resection and reconstruction, foot and ankle surgery, pediatric fractures, and osteoporosis. Emphasizing the treatment philosophy of minimally invasive and precise care, it performed the first BrainLab navigation-assisted knee replacement in South China and the first ankle replacement in Shenzhen, and is committed to the development and application of new technologies, new services, and difficult surgeries, including minimally invasive-approach hip and knee joint replacement, replacement for complex joint deformities, hip and knee revision surgery, and shoulder and elbow joint replacement, thereby filling gaps in multiple services in Shenzhen. The department’s advantageous technologies and distinctive clinical treatment programs include: 1. Intelligent minimally invasive joint replacement and hip- and knee-preserving techniques; 2. Management of complex trauma and functional reconstruction; 3. Resection and reconstruction of bone and soft-tissue tumors; 4. Complex foot and ankle trauma and deformity correction; 5. Minimally invasive treatment of pediatric fractures; 6. Standardized treatment of osteoporosis; 7. Enhanced recovery after surgery, enhanced recovery nursing, and a pain-free orthopedic ward. In the future, the Department of Bone and Joint Surgery will steadily advance toward the goal of becoming a leading regional medical, teaching, and research center for bone and joint diseases in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, and will wholeheartedly provide patients with high-quality, reliable, convenient, and reassuring clinical diagnosis and treatment services.
