About
Dr. Oscar Vazquez is a leading orthopedic researcher specializing in spinal deformity correction, particularly adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. His work focuses on advancing the safety and precision of pedicle screw placement, a critical component of posterior spinal fusion surgery. Dr. Vazquez’s major contribution is a comprehensive narrative review comparing available techniques—free-hand, computed navigation, robotic navigation, and patient-specific drill templates—to evaluate their accuracy and safety profiles. This synthesis, published in 2023 and already garnering 20 citations, provides surgeons with evidence-based guidance for optimizing outcomes in scoliosis correction. By systematically analyzing these technologies, Dr. Vazquez has helped clarify the trade-offs between invasiveness, precision, and operative time, directly impacting clinical decision-making. His research underscores a commitment to reducing complication rates and improving patient recovery in complex spinal procedures. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Vazquez is recognized as a rising authority in minimally invasive and navigated spine surgery, bridging the gap between technological innovation and practical surgical application. His work continues to shape best practices for the next generation of orthopedic surgeons.
