About
Dr. Dean C. Perfetti is a pioneering spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced imaging, 3D printing technology, and pediatric spinal deformity correction. His primary research areas include congenital scoliosis surgery, intraoperative navigation, and the clinical translation of patient-specific biomodels. Dr. Perfetti’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the perioperative benefits of 3D-printed spine biomodels for complex congenital scoliosis cases—a field where traditional visualization techniques often fall short. His 2024 study, cited twice to date, provides early evidence that these models enhance preoperative planning, surgical simulation, and intraoperative guidance, potentially reducing operative time and improving outcomes. Beyond this, Dr. Perfetti has been recognized for integrating cutting-edge manufacturing into routine surgical workflows, bridging engineering and clinical practice. His work has been presented at national spine conferences, and he continues to influence how surgeons approach the most challenging spinal deformities. For students and researchers, Dr. Perfetti exemplifies how emerging technologies can be rigorously tested and translated into tangible patient benefits.
