About

Bailey MacInnis is a leading researcher in the field of spinal surgery, with a primary focus on advancing the precision and safety of pedicle screw placement. Their major contributions center on evaluating and comparing emerging technologies—including robotic-assisted systems, navigation, and freehand techniques—to determine the most accurate methods for screw insertion. MacInnis’s most-cited work, a 2023 systematic review titled “Trends in Technology for Pedicle Screw Placement” (26 citations), provides a critical analysis of how successive generations of robotic systems have improved placement accuracy over time. This study has become a key reference for surgeons and engineers seeking evidence-based guidance on adopting new technologies. Beyond this, MacInnis has explored the evolution of surgical robotics, highlighting both the promise and limitations of automation in the operating room. Their research is highly regarded for its rigorous methodology and practical implications, directly influencing clinical decision-making and the design of next-generation spinal instrumentation. MacInnis’s work continues to shape the trajectory of minimally invasive spine surgery, making them a pivotal voice in the integration of technology and patient care.
