About

Dr. Giacomo De Marco is a leading orthopaedic researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), with a particular focus on the accuracy and safety of pedicle screw placement. His most-cited paper, a 2023 narrative review, provides a comprehensive comparison of available techniques—from the traditional free-hand method to advanced computed navigation, robotic systems, and patient-specific drill templates. This work has garnered 20 citations, underscoring its value as a critical resource for spine surgeons seeking to optimize outcomes and minimize complications in posterior spinal fusion. Dr. De Marco’s contributions are especially notable for synthesizing evidence on how emerging technologies can enhance precision in segmental spinal instrumentation, a cornerstone of AIS correction. By systematically evaluating these approaches, he has helped clarify the trade-offs between innovation and established practice, guiding clinical decision-making. His research not only advances surgical technique but also prioritizes patient safety, making him a respected voice in the field of pediatric spinal deformity. For students and clinicians alike, Dr. De Marco’s work offers a clear, evidence-based roadmap for navigating the evolving landscape of scoliosis surgery.
