The University of Maryland Medical Center’s spine program features board-certified, shock trauma-credentialed surgeons who specialize in advanced techniques, including robotic and motion-preserving spinal surgeries, for patients of all ages. The team is enhancing care by implementing standardized patient-reported outcome tracking and participating in major research initiatives like the Medtronic-sponsored Alliance post-market study and the AO Foundation’s IN-TWIN feasibility study on spinal cord injury outcomes. In 2023, the program received $3.47 million in National Institutes of Health funding, underscoring its leadership in research and innovation. This year, surgeons began performing same-day spine procedures at the University of Maryland Surgery Center, which was ranked among the top three ASCs in Maryland by Newsweek in 2024. The program exemplifies excellence in spinal care, combining cutting-edge technology, patient-centered practices and impactful research.
