OrthoIndy is proud to be the first in the world to use EOS Insight™, a groundbreaking AI-driven spine surgery platform from Alphatec Holdings, a provider of innovative solutions for spine care. For our patients, this means receiving care with technology designed to make spine surgery more precise, personalized and predictable than ever before.
Recently, Dr. David Schwartz and Dr. M. Craig McMains successfully performed the first spine surgeries using EOS Insight at OrthoIndy Hospital. Dr. Schwartz describes EOS Insight as transforming the surgical experience, with the end-to-end platform providing guidance at every step of the process, from initial surgical planning to post-op review.
Relying on EOS Insight, he says he was able to enter surgery with an efficient, AI-driven customized plan, precise alignment measurements and contoured rods that were custom-shaped to match the specific alignment and curvature needs of his patient’s spine.
“The technology increased my confidence in the operating room,” says Dr. Schwartz. “I was able to compare my progress to the pre-operative plan throughout the surgery and then perform a final reconciliation prior to its completion. EOS Insight is truly the most comprehensive spine innovation I’ve witnessed in my 35-year clinical tenure.”
OrthoIndy’s involvement with EOS Insight comes on the heels of the practice’s designation as the first healthcare system in Indiana to offer ATEC’s EOSedge™ imaging system to pediatric and adult patients, the benefits of which are two-fold. EOSedge imaging, offered at OrthoIndy Fishers and OrthoIndy Northwest, significantly reduces radiation exposure for patients, especially those who require multiple scans, and provides accurate 3D measurements that aid in surgical planning.
“At OrthoIndy, we’re proud to adopt transformative platforms like EOS Insight and EOSedge,” says Dr. Matthew Lavery, President of OrthoIndy. “When you choose OrthoIndy for spine care, you choose a team dedicated to using technological innovation to enhance the delivery of safe, precise, and highly personalized care.”
