Introduction

Spine surgery is experiencing a revolution in innovative, technology driven procedures.

It is important for spine surgeons to balance the potential advantages of these products against their generally still unproven track record. Outcome has to be continuously measured and compared with the proven results of "gold standard" treatment modalities. It is with this philosophy in mind that our combined Neurosurgical and Orthopedic approach to the treatment of diseases of the spine reflects the results of decades of research, collective experience and a surgical training unmatched by any other specialty dealing with spinal disorders.

Orthopedic and Neurosurgical spine surgeons are trained and capable of dealing with all spinal conditions, those afflicting the spinal column as well as its contents, the spinal cord and nerves.

Every recommendation for treatment, conservative or surgical, is based on the primary principle of protecting, maintaining or improving neurological function, while addressing ailments of the spinal column.
