Episode notes
Endoscopy And Motion Preservation Rising
- Endoscopic techniques and tiny arthroscopes are driving major innovation in spine care.
- Motion preservation via disc replacement can restore anatomy while keeping patients' spinal motion.
AI Is Promising But Mostly Research-Stage
- AI shows promise but so far mainly aids research rather than changing clinical practice.
- Clinically impactful AI solutions in spine care remain limited at present.
Minimally Invasive Revision Strategies
- Minimally invasive approaches can address failed back surgeries by avoiding scarred posterior tissue.
- Approaching from the front or side enables disc replacement with outcomes similar to first-time operations.
