About
Dr. Connor Pratt is a spine surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing the safety and precision of spinal navigation and robotic-assisted surgery. His most notable contribution, detailed in the 2022 cadaveric study *“Pearls and Pitfalls of Posterior Superior Iliac Spine Reference Frame Placement for Spinal Navigation,”* provides critical guidance on a common but technically nuanced step in image-guided spine procedures. By systematically analyzing the anatomical risks and optimal techniques for PSIS reference frame insertion, Dr. Pratt’s work helps surgeons avoid neurovascular complications and improve registration accuracy—a foundational concern for modern minimally invasive spine surgery. Though early in his career, this study has already garnered 4 citations, reflecting its practical value for operating surgeons. Dr. Pratt’s research bridges the gap between engineering principles and clinical application, directly impacting how navigation tools are deployed in the operating room. His ongoing work promises to further refine the integration of robotics and navigation into routine spinal care, making complex procedures safer and more reproducible for patients and surgeons alike.
