Orthopaedic surgeon Khaled Kebaish discusses the latest innovations and research in the spine division at the Johns Hopkins Department of Orthopaedic Surgery.
Hi, my name is calculate a sh I'm a spine surgeon here at Hopkins. I've been here for over 20 years. Uh I'm also a professor of orthopedic and neurosurgery and the chief of the spine division. Uh and vice chair in our department. Today I'd like to talk with you about our research. We have been very active in research over the past 20 years, myself and six other members of my division. We have to R. 01 in our division, which means NIH funding and high level research. In fact, we recently presented one of the most innovative technique and preserving motion segments in the spine, especially in very challenging uh problems with the spine spinal deformity, specifically scoliosis, where we're able to preserve motion segments which allows better functioning for the patients, allows faster return to normal activity of daily living and clearly better lifestyles. We just presented our findings at our yearly international meeting in the scoliosis Research Society in Stockholm Sweden. And this research and the finding we had has received a lot of interest from many aspiring surgeons and around the world and I think it has the potential to improve the surgery we perform and the quality of uh function the patients are able to perform. Um We continue to innovate and there are many other projects ongoing to research and and improve and hopefully find a cure for some of the most challenging problems
