Liu Yikun, managing director of IDG Capital, said: “China has a large population and an increasing group of elderly people. Traditional surgical methods are difficult and take a long time, which is difficult to be rapidly popularized in hospitals at all levels and cannot meet the increasing demand for joint replacement. Therefore, efficient and convenient orthopedic digital surgery solutions have become the future development trend.”
