About

Brian J. Neuman is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the evolution of surgical technology, patient outcomes, and the safety of spinal procedures. His major contributions lie in quantifying the real-world adoption and impact of advanced surgical tools, particularly navigation and robotic assistance in elective spine surgery. In a landmark study analyzing over 105,000 cases from 2007 to 2015, Neuman demonstrated a dramatic shift in practice, revealing that the use of these technologies surged from under 1% to nearly 20% of procedures. This work, which has garnered over 5 citations, provides critical evidence for surgeons and hospitals evaluating the cost-effectiveness and clinical benefits of these innovations. Beyond this, Neuman’s research portfolio includes investigations into complication rates, implant failure, and optimizing surgical techniques for conditions like scoliosis and degenerative disc disease. His findings have helped shape guidelines for safer, more precise spine care. As a clinician-scholar, Neuman bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and everyday practice, making his work essential reading for anyone interested in the future of orthopedic surgery.
