About
Bradley Moatz is a pioneering spine surgeon whose research focuses on the integration of advanced robotics and intraoperative imaging to enhance the safety and precision of complex spinal fusion surgery. His major contributions center on demonstrating the clinical utility of robotic instrumentation in high-volume, real-world settings. In his landmark 2023 study, Moatz detailed the successful execution of 100 complex posterior spinal fusions using robotic guidance, establishing a benchmark for feasibility and safety in challenging cases. Building on this, his 2024 work provided a critical comparative analysis, showing that the addition of intraoperative 3D CT imaging (E3D) to robotic navigation significantly improves accuracy over robotic systems relying solely on C-arm fluoroscopic registration. By analyzing 80 consecutive complex cases against matched controls, Moatz quantified the added value of 3D imaging in reducing screw misplacement and enhancing surgical confidence. With over a dozen citations already for these foundational studies, Moatz is a leading voice in the evidence-based adoption of robotic technology in spine surgery, directly shaping how surgeons approach high-stakes posterior fusions.
