Becker's Spine Review has reported on four innovations developed or being developed by spine and orthopedic surgeons in the past month:
Brian Kwon, MD, is working on a near-infrared spectroscopic sensor that would evaluate blood oxygenation and blood flow at the site of spinal cord injury.
A case management platform that uses artificial intelligence and automation to streamline surgical scheduling was launched by Ashvin Dewan, MD.
Caleb Behrend, MD, is leading a team of engineers who are developing screws fitted with sensors to calculate the status of fracture healing.
Scott Trenhaile, MD, received a U.S. patent for a surgical suture anchor that will be produced by Smith+Nephew.
