About

Alan H. Daniels is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical robotics, adult spinal deformity, and complex trauma care. His most cited paper, "Computer‐assisted Orthopaedic Surgery" (90 citations), critically examines how technology can streamline overcrowded operating rooms, improve data integration, and enhance patient safety—a foundational piece for the field. Dr. Daniels has been instrumental in advancing robotic spine surgery, demonstrating through matched cohort studies that robot-assisted posterior lumbar fusion reduces revision risk and postoperative complications (28 citations). He also authored practical guides for developing robotic spine surgery programs (10 citations) and has analyzed specialty-specific trends in adult deformity treatment, comparing approaches by orthopedic and neurological surgeons (8 citations). His recent work on managing thoracolumbar fractures in patients with ankylosing conditions (2 citations) addresses a high-risk, understudied population. With a career focused on translating technological innovation into measurable clinical outcomes, Dr. Daniels’ research has directly shaped safer, more efficient surgical practices—making him a key voice in the modern evolution of spine surgery.
