Fresh off the press in JBJS! Honored to be a part of this work.
We identified novel genetic markers linked with spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, lumbar spondylolisthesis, and pseudarthrosis after spinal fusion.

Super interesting research. The answer is at least partly that elephants’ cells have an astounding twenty copies of p53, a cancer repair gene. Ours have just one. scientificamerican.com/artic…

I received no mentorship when applying to Orthopaedic summer programs as an MS-1. After a fantastic summer experience, I felt the need to provide the incoming MS-1s with the tools they needed to navigate this process. A big thanks to my classmates who helped make this possible!

So proud of @alexjahangir and his talk at TEDx Nashville today. His message on leadership and how to build trust in a crisis was spot on.

🚨Editor's Pick🚨
A study led by @BFStephensMD from @VUMChealth created a calculator to predict mortality in elderly #spine trauma patients.
This tool is an important development as the incidence of elderly patient spine trauma ⬆️.

A well written article on our recent publication in the journal @SpinePhilaPA76 on the very real impact of social determinants of health and the association with race on clinical patient reported outcomes.
Racial and socioeconomic disparities affect postoperative outcomes for spine surgery patients - spinalnewsinternational.com/…

The inaugural Clint Devin, MD Memorial Lectureship in Spine was a moving experience. The impact that #ClintDevin had here at @VUMCOrtho and in spine surgery is profound. I never met him but it is clear his legacy is ever present. #orthotwitter #spinesurgery

I have seen headlines relating to the Tulsa shooting referring to a "botched" spine surgery. All that's really known is that the patient had pain 2 WEEKS after spine surgery. That is NOT a surgical complication.
