About the Hospital
Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, founded in 1956 and designated China's National Orthopedic Medical Center, is the country's highest-ranked hospital for musculoskeletal care — its orthopedics department has held the national #1 position in specialty rankings for 13 consecutive years.
Operating across three campuses with a total of 2,203 beds and 4,109 medical personnel, the hospital performs more than 50,000 orthopedic surgeries annually and holds 7 national key clinical specialties spanning orthopedics, hand surgery, burn surgery, sports orthopedics, and emergency medicine.
The Department of Hand Surgery, established in 1959, is where China's microsurgical limb replantation techniques were pioneered — including the first sub-millimeter vessel repair and clinical digit replantation in the early 1960s — a legacy that reshaped global reconstructive surgery. Today, Jishuitan is home to a nationally designated training center for orthopedic surgeons and operates China's first domestically developed orthopedic robot (TINAVI), positioning it as the global reference point for complex bone tumor resection, joint replacement, and polytrauma microsurgery.

Featured Technology & Equipment
TiRobot (Tianji) Orthopedic Surgical Robot — Birthplace Institution
TiRobot (Tianji) Orthopedic Surgical Robot — Birthplace Institution
Beijing Jishuitan Hospital is the originating institution and primary clinical center for China's Tianji orthopedic robot — the only system globally cleared for trauma, spine, and joint procedures in a single platform. The robot achieves 0.8mm screw placement accuracy across cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and pelvic anatomy. Jishuitan surgeons pioneered the world's first long-bone fracture robot surgery and the first 5G remote orthopedic robotic procedure.
Intraoperative CT Suite (Siemens Sliding-Rail CT + Brainlab Navigation)
Intraoperative CT Suite (Siemens Sliding-Rail CT + Brainlab Navigation)
Jishuitan's new Huilongguan campus (2025) features a dedicated intraoperative CT room with a Siemens sliding-rail CT that scans on the operating table without repositioning. Combined with Brainlab navigation, surgeons receive real-time cross-sectional verification of implant placement during bone tumor resection, spinal surgery, and complex fracture fixation — confirming accuracy before wound closure.
3D Printing Laboratory (AK Medical Partnership) — Custom Implants
3D Printing Laboratory (AK Medical Partnership) — Custom Implants
Jishuitan's joint 3D printing laboratory with AK Medical produces patient-specific titanium and PEEK implants for trauma reconstruction, joint replacement, and spinal deformity correction. When standard implant sizes cannot accommodate a patient's anatomy — complex fractures, avascular necrosis, post-tumor reconstruction — 3D-printed prostheses match bone geometry exactly, improving load distribution and reducing failure risk.

A halal restaurant (Mabashi) sits directly at the hospital's north gate — rare proximity for Muslim patients. The Shichahai scenic area (1–2 km east) has several more halal options. For families prioritising halal environment, Furun JingXuan Hotel in the Niujie Muslim quarter is recommended despite the 4.5 km distance.
