About
Dr. Grant Schmidt is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing the safety and precision of robotic-assisted spinal surgery. His primary research areas include cortical bone trajectory (CBT) screw fixation, intraoperative imaging, and the prevention of surgical complications in minimally invasive spine procedures. Dr. Schmidt’s most notable contribution is his landmark 2023 study, “Risk Factors of Screw Malposition in Robot-Assisted Cortical Bone Trajectory,” which systematically identified the incidence and causes of screw skive and shift during robotic insertion. This work has garnered early attention with 5 citations, providing critical guidance for surgeons to optimize patient outcomes and reduce revision rates. Beyond this, Dr. Schmidt is recognized for integrating prospective data collection with retrospective analysis to enhance the evidence base for robotic spine surgery. His research has been presented at major orthopedic conferences, and he is actively involved in training the next generation of spine surgeons. With a commitment to translating technical challenges into actionable solutions, Dr. Schmidt’s work is shaping the future of safe, robot-assisted spinal instrumentation.
