🎥 Pushing the Boundaries of Spine Surgery with Advanced Technology

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”

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.

Safety in Robotic Spine Surgery

Tip #5 for Spine Surgeons: Master #Robotics with anatomy in mind! 🦴 For S2AI screws, clear bone that obstructs the trajectory. Be mindful of deep L5/S1 and medial PSIS – adjust or remove part of PSIS for optimal screw placement. And watch those sloped transverse processes in the thoracic spine! #neurosurgery #physicaltherapy #chiropractor #spine #spinehealthContinue reading “Safety in Robotic Spine Surgery”

Safety in Robotic Spine Surgery

Tip#3 for fellow surgeons RoboticsInSpineSurgery Start proximal to distal High torque? Leave screws proud, tighten later Iliac/S2AI screws last for their torque Doubts about robot movement? Recheck landmarks For deformities, think headless/modular screws #neurosurgery #physicaltherapy #chiropractor #spine #spinehealth #spinesurgery #scoliosis #scoliosissurgeon #spinedeformity #spinaldeformity #idiopathicscoliosis #degenerativescoliosis #kyphosis #flatback #spinalalignment #spondylolisthesis

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 !”

Guidelines for Assessment and Management of Osteoporosis in Adult Patients Undergoing Elective Spinal Reconstruction

Following the topic of Bone Health in Adults undergoing spine surgery from my previous post.

What is Normal Lumbar Spine Alignment and segmental lordosis ?

A Multi-Ethnic Alignment Normative Study (MEANS) Here is what we learnt for Lumbar segmental alignment and distribution from the MEANS population. Key Points: Equation for predicting L1-L4 lordosis which I use:L1-L4 = -0.4(PI) + 2.2 Equations for predicting L1-S1 lordosis were given in the earlier post. L4-S1 lordosis can be calculated as a difference betweenContinue reading “What is Normal Lumbar Spine Alignment and segmental lordosis ?”
