Cutting Edge Procedures

Dr. Blecher is a fellowship trained orthopaedic spine surgeon that specializes in state-of-the-art spinal surgical care. Emerging procedures are constantly evolving and surgical options are constantly expanding. Cutting edge procedures such as artificial lumbar disc replacement and artificial cervical disc replacement are examples of innovative surgical techniques that Dr. Blecher is trained in. It is important to know that our philosophy is not to be the first ones to jump out and try new techniques. Dr. Blecher is extremely honest with patients regarding evidence based medicine, safety and expectations following procedures. Many cutting edge procedures do not have a long track record and, as such, are rarely recommended at our institutions. At University Spine Associates we recommend the surgeries that, in our mind, will result in the most effective, safest and most reproducible outcome with the least amount of harm.
