Dr. Xiong specializes in spine surgery. She treats conditions including disorders of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. These include spinal stenosis, myelopathy, herniated discs, spinal trauma, spinal tumors, and revision spine surgery. She aims to work with patients to understand their lifestyle and concerns and then offer a personalized treatment plan. Dr. Xiong specializes in both traditional open and minimally invasive approaches to help restore patient quality of life and mobility.
Dr. Xiong completed medical school at Stanford School of Medicine, her residency training at the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program in Boston, MA, and spine surgery fellowship training at the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute in Philadelphia, PA.
Dr. Xiong’s research interests include reducing disparities in access to spinal care and investigating healthcare delivery to promote health equity. She also studies infection prevention in patients who have undergone spinal surgery and the treatment of patients who develop spontaneous spinal infections.
Dr. Xiong has published in many peer-reviewed journals, including The Spine Journal, Spine, The American Journal of Sports Medicine, and Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research. She has written several book chapters on orthopaedic subjects and has presented research at conferences and meetings around the country, as well as in Canada and China.
Dr. Xiong is a member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, American Orthopaedic Association, and the North American Spine Society. -
Fan Yang
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab’s mission is to develop therapies for regenerating human tissues lost due to diseases or aging, and to build tissue engineered 3D models for understanding disease progression and informing drug discovery. We invent biomaterials and engineering tools to elucidate and modulate biology, and also use biology to inform materials and engineering design. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, and is driven by unmet clinical needs or key gaps in biology.
