About
Dr. Avery L. Buchholz is a leading spine surgeon and researcher whose work is at the forefront of robotic-assisted spine surgery. His research centers on improving the precision, safety, and outcomes of spinal instrumentation, with a particular focus on robotic and navigated techniques. Dr. Buchholz has made major contributions by providing large-scale, multicenter evidence that validates the safety and efficacy of robotic systems in spine surgery. His landmark studies, including a propensity-matched analysis of over 2,800 screws and a five-year trend analysis, demonstrate that robotic assistance achieves comparable or superior outcomes to conventional methods, with low complication rates. His work has been cited over 180 times, reflecting its significant impact on clinical practice. Notably, Dr. Buchholz has also pioneered the application of robotic navigation in challenging cervical spine cases, such as C2 screw placement for hangman’s fractures, and has developed technical workflows for safe and efficient robotic screw placement. His research is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher interested in the integration of robotics into spinal care.
