Here’s a glimpse of my recent talk at the Saudi Spine Conference in Riyadh, where I had the privilege to discuss how I leverage cutting-edge technology to deliver precision-driven spine surgeries. From robotics and AI-driven surgical planning to virtual modeling and custom implants, I’ve embraced a combination of tools that allow me to create tailoredContinue reading “🎥 Pushing the Boundaries of Spine Surgery with Advanced Technology”

I am honored to announce my inclusion as one of the top 3% Spine Research All-Stars for 2024! This honor is in recognition of the quantity and quality of the Spine research i’ve co-authored and published. The Healthcare Research All-Star lists are compiled by @Avant-garde Health and include only the top hospitals and surgeons publishingContinue reading “Top 3% in Spine”
FLATBACK WITH PRIOR HARRINGTON ROD. CAN THIS BE TREATED?
This was recently presented as my case of the month by NASS. Severe sagittal and coronal malalignment in a patient in their 50s. -Prior surgery 40 years ago -Inability to stand upright (uses cane to ambulate) for years -Fatigue while ambulating -Lumbar radicular pain -Localized bilateral gluteal pain -Inability to lie down flat Important observations:Continue reading “FLATBACK WITH PRIOR HARRINGTON ROD.

Safe Use of Robotics in Spine Surgery
Final Tip #6 for Spine Surgeons 🤖: Embrace tactile feedback in #Robotics. Tap, don’t push the drill. Start with high-speed bur for 1cm depth, then switch to low-speed tap. Unsure? Trust your feel & check landmarks. 🛠️ Old tools, new tricks.Share your tips & experiences, especially Globus Medical robot users! #neurosurgery #physicaltherapy #chiropractor #spine #spinehealthContinue reading “Safe Use of Robotics in Spine Surgery”
Safe Use of Robotics in Spine Surgery
Tip#4 for #Spine Surgeons: Ensure safe #Robotics use in spine surgery by minimizing tissue tension. Use bilateral retractors and consider a percutaneous/transmuscular approach to prevent errors. Remember, tension & asymmetric retraction often lead to errors at UIV/LIV neurosurgery #physicaltherapy #chiropractor #spine #spinehealth #spinesurgery #scoliosis #scoliosissurgeon #spinedeformity #spinaldeformity #idiopathicscoliosis #degenerativescoliosis #kyphosis #flatback #spinalalignment #spondylolisthesis
Safety in Robotic Spine Surgery
Tip#2 for fellow surgeons #RoboticsInSpineSurgery. Ensure all connections on the robot are secure & wait for the C-Arm to stabilize before imaging. Keeping prior screws but removing rods can aid, except for Harrington rods/hooks neurosurgery #physicaltherapy #chiropractor #spine #spinehealth #spinesurgery #scoliosis #scoliosissurgeon #spinedeformity #spinaldeformity #idiopathicscoliosis #degenerativescoliosis #kyphosis #flatback #spinalalignment #spondylolisthesis
Individualized Surgical Planning using the #MEANS concepts
Matching the Thoracic kyphosis, Lumbar Lordosis, and Pelvic Incidence in the sagittal plane is the key to optimal alignment in adult spinal deformity surgery The concept applies to the coronal plane as well. We need to match the fractional lumbosacral curve, lumbar scoliosis, and thoracic scoliosis. This patient with a prior harrington rod who underwentContinue reading “Individualized Surgical Planning using the #MEANS concepts”
Spinal alignment varies with an individual’s race !
A Multi-Ethnic Alignment Normative Study (MEANS) Spinal alignment is determined by more than just the PI or SS.We compared individuals from three main races: Asian (A), Arabo-Bèrbère (B), and Caucasian (C). Key points:-Pelvic morphology including pelvic incidence (A: 51.0, B: 52.0, C: 52.5, p = 0.37), pelvic tilt (A: 11.9, B: 12.3, C: 12.9, pContinue reading “Spinal alignment varies with an individual’s race !”
