Robots are highly beneficial to healthcare. Statistics show that around 16 million patients in China are 1． need of orthopedic (矫形外科的) surgery. Surgical robots help surgeons figure out the problem, 2． carry the risk of exposing both surgeons and patients to radiation damage. The all-in-one orthopedic robot (AIOOR) solves this problem. Developed by orthopedic 3． (special) Zhang Yuanzhi and his team, AIOOR is the first of its kind in China. Its cutting-edge imaging system and software 4． (short) the time needed for complex operations, such as those for spinal injuries, and also makes such surgeries much 5． (safe).

Patients only need to “eat” 9． capsule-sized robot, and the examination is completed within 15 minutes. After the procedure, the robot is removed from patients’ body. So far, these robots 10． (employ) in about 1,000 medical centers across China.
