Thank you @DeanChouMD! Honored to be invited to speak at @LSRSspine. The society brings together both neuro and ortho spine surgeons together under one roof for a honest, open and frank discussion. We need more meetings like this.

Titanium, PEEK, and 3D-printed cages — each promised better fusion, load sharing, and alignment restoration. Our review shows what the data say… but the real question is: what’s the next age of cage material? 🦴💡

Advanced tissue sensors during surgery near nerves are key to preventing damage. As we move toward autonomous robotic tools (beyond image guidance alone), they’ll become even more critical. @UCSF @SeoulNatlUni

For me, it’s always been about the people. Colleagues you suffer alongside, mentors who pull you up, and mentees you advocate for. Grateful for the old and new relationships this past weekend… and excited for the next chapter ahead.
