About

Daniel M. Sciubba is a pioneering spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced surgical technology and patient outcomes in spinal surgery. His major contributions lie in the development and validation of augmented reality (AR) for spinal instrumentation, particularly pedicle screw and S2 alar-iliac screw placement. His landmark 2019 cadaveric proof-of-concept study on AR-assisted pedicle screw insertion (156 citations) demonstrated the potential of this technology to enhance accuracy and safety, while his 2022 in-human report on S2AI screw placement (14 citations) extended AR applications to complex spinopelvic fixation. Beyond AR, Sciubba has critically evaluated surgical practice through systematic reviews on radiation exposure (71 citations) and cost-benefit analyses of surgical technology (66 citations), as well as large-scale studies on navigation and robotic usage trends (5 citations). His work has shaped evidence-based adoption of emerging technologies, balancing innovation with practical considerations of safety, cost, and workflow. As a leading voice in spinal surgery innovation, Sciubba continues to drive the field toward safer, more precise, and data-driven surgical care.
