The UCSF Spine Center offers a comprehensive approach to evaluating and managing complex spinal deformity by drawing upon the expertise of the orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons at UCSF Medical Center.
Spine deformities can cause debilitating pain and seriously impact function, self-image and overall quality of life. Patients with complex spinal deformities may need surgeons as well as specialists in rehabilitation, pain control, physical medicine and bracing and orthotics to implement a treatment plan that accounts for a patient's age, lifestyle and other medical conditions.
Our doctors have helped develop many of the most advanced techniques in deformity surgery including implant design, bone graft supplements and substitutes, and minimal access surgery. As a nationally recognized center of excellence, the UCSF Medical Center has the volume of spinal deformity patients necessary to ensure a depth of clinical experience for even the most rare spinal conditions.
