Since the department was established in 1984, it has become a discipline with strong comprehensive strength integrating medicine, teaching and research. The department consists of outpatient department, wards with 65 beds, operating rooms, day surgery unit, remote consultation platform and laboratories. The department is supported by National Clinical Key Specialty - Construction Project. The department is the advanced training base for spinal microsurgery of the National Health Commission Capacity Building and Continuing Education Center, the first ERAS pilot unit for orthopaedic of the National Health Commission, the core unit and the first batch of member units of "science popularization project" of the National Clinical Research Center for Orthopaedic, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation, clinical experimental base of National Medical Products Administration, the first IGASS Global Spine Specialist Training Center in China, the base for standardized residency training basement in Beijing, Beijing Fengtai District Clinical Key Specialty. It also has the first batch of Beijing Hospital Authority well-known expert team, PI Research Team of Laboratory of China National Clinical Research Center for Neurological Diseases and Beijing Key Laboratory of Fundamental Research on Biomechanics in Clinical Application. It was approved to award orthopaedic doctoral degree firstly in Capital Medical University, and to establish postdoctoral mobile station. This comprehensive discipline integrates subspecialties such as spine surgery, trauma orthopaedic, joint surgery, bone and soft tissue tumors, sports medicine & rehabilitation, wound and soft tissue repair, and osteoporosis.

Prof. Baoge Liu, the head of department, is a nationally renowned spine surgery expert, serving as a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, standing committee member of the Spine Society of Europe (EUROSPINE), member of the International Group for Advancement in Spinal Science (IGASS), national committee member of Chinese Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons (CAOS), vice chairman of Beijing Orthopaedic Association (BOA), and members of editorial-board of top academic journals such as European Spine Journal, et al.. There are 22 doctors, including 1 postdoctoral supervisor, 1 doctoral supervisor, 4 master's supervisors. 15 doctors have senior professional titles, and 86% of those with master or doctoral degree (64% with doctoral degree, 4 of them have postdoctoral experience).
