Academic exchange is never about vanity; it is about testing clinical hypotheses before international peers. From masterclasses in Seoul to keynotes in Bangkok and Moscow, I share unedited surgical videos, long-term follow-ups, and honest complication data to demonstrate how Chinese veterinary orthopedics excels at the global cutting edge.
Invited to Seoul to deliver advanced biological joint replacement masterclasses for South Korean orthopedic veterinary surgeons. Lectured on acetabular press-fit biomechanics, dual-mobility anti-luxation mechanisms, and TKA osteotomy planning, receiving wide coverage in leading Korean veterinary media DailyVet.
Delivered an invited English keynote address at the 17th VPAT Regional Veterinary Congress in Bangkok. Presented our clinical protocols and multi-year data on feline dual-mobility total hip replacement, engaging in deep discussions with university faculty across Southeast Asia on hyper-mobile feline joints.
Presented our seven-year clinical research journey in canine total knee arthroplasty and custom 3D titanium implants at the Partners Science Forum Annual Congress in Moscow. Honored by the congress committee with the Professional Excellence Award for pioneering breakthroughs in small animal joint surgery.
Regular keynote speaker and orthopedic session chair across the China Small Animal Medical Congress, East-West Small Animal Veterinary Conference, and South China Veterinary Congress. Continuously sharing unvarnished surgical footage, complication troubleshooting, and evidence-based protocols with thousands of practitioners.
I have never believed in the obsolete notion that "teaching the apprentice starves the master." In our profession, we are all comrades in the same trench fighting for animal health and welfare. Over the past fifteen years, whether building domestic training foundations or mentoring international masterclasses, I hold nothing back. True surgical progress happens only through open, rigorous dissemination.
In 2011, recognizing the acute void in structured orthopedic continuing education in China, I co-founded SAO with Dr. Li Derong. Over the ensuing years, we delivered dozens of intensive hands-on workshops, training over 2,000 domestic clinicians in anatomical reduction, rigid internal fixation, and corrective osteotomies.
Through structured Vetmaster masterclasses and dry/wet labs, I lead intensive surgical training for veterinary surgeons from nine nations across Asia, Europe, and the Americas. We translate complex biomechanical reaming, dual-mobility press-fit tolerances, and TKA alignment into reproducible surgical precision.
Serving as Visiting Lecturer at SCAU and GPST, and Visiting Professor at JSVC, I actively integrate frontline clinical surgical data into higher veterinary education. I authored the core chapter on "Canine & Feline Total Hip Replacement" for the national university textbook Pet Surgery and Obstetrics, cultivating China's next generation of surgical talent.
“When market competition escalates without standardized technical baselines, the line between innovation and reckless compromise becomes dangerously blurred. We needed an enforceable technical safety rope for surgeons, patients, and manufacturers alike.”
For years, the domestic veterinary orthopedic sector operated in a regulatory vacuum. The absence of unified manufacturing, fatigue-testing, and biocompatibility criteria meant clinicians operated in a fog—unable to verify whether titanium coatings would shed debris under load or if micro-stems would fracture over millions of gait cycles. When tragic hardware failures triggered industry-wide alarm, the necessity for enforceable standards became inescapable.
As one of the earliest surgeons in China to perform total hip replacement, I knew passive waiting was unacceptable. Joining forces across clinical practice, academia, and material science—uniting Guangzhou Boshi Animal Hospital, South China Agricultural University (SCAU), Shenzhen YY United Pet Orthopedics, Guangdong Polytechnic of Science and Trade (GPST), and the Institute of New Materials, Guangdong Academy of Sciences—we led the drafting and publication of China’s landmark standard: T/GDAAV 1011–2024 (Implant for Surgery — Technical Specifications for Veterinary Hip-Joint Replacement).
Official standard publication: T/GDAAV 1011—2024 promulgated by the Guangdong Society of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine.
Defines clear terminology, anatomical classification, and dimensional notation systems tailored specifically to canine and feline companion animals across varying body weights.
Establishes stringent criteria for surgical-grade alloys (titanium, CoCrMo, tantalum), surface micro-structures, expected fatigue life, and comprehensive biomechanical evaluation.
Standardizes strict manufacturing quality control baselines, ISO-aligned dynamic fatigue testing protocols, and static structural load evaluations.
Mandates strict protocols for ultrasonic bio-cleaning, medical-grade gamma/EO sterile barrier integrity, and complete technical trace documentation.
I have zero interest in "paper-only" patents designed merely to satisfy academic metrics or corporate pitch decks. Every single patent my team and I file originates from an acute mechanical bottleneck encountered under the surgical lamp. From 3D trabecular scaffolds to custom micro-instrumentation, our patents have a single soul: resolving real clinical failure modes.
Engineered via additive manufacturing to replicate natural cancellous bone, our patented 3D trabecular scaffolds provide immediate high-friction press-fit stability and interconnected porous architecture for rapid biological bone ingrowth—eliminating reliance on non-living acrylic bone cement.
Pioneering the structural miniaturization of dual-mobility joint interfaces tailored for hyper-mobile cats and small dogs. Our patented dual-bearing mechanism significantly expands physiological range of motion (ROM) and jump-safe distance while minimizing volumetric polyethylene wear debris.
Developed from high-resolution CT 3D reconstructions, our patented surgical cutting guides and customized orthopedic toolsets enable sub-millimeter angular correction (aLDFA/TPA realignment) in severe Grade 4 patellar deformities and complex non-union revisions.
