Dr. Theresa Pazionis Discusses Assumptions That Successful Spine and Orthopedic Leaders Are Rethinking for the Better With Becker’s Spine Review

Theresa J.C. Pazionis, MD, MA, FRCSC, ABOS, Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, spoke with Becker’s Spine Review about the assumptions that successful spine and orthopedic leaders are rethinking for the better. Pazionis explained that for her, it’s that predictive models and robotic platforms are only as effective as the surgical judgment, indications and technical execution that guide them. The priority is technique and judgment, with technology serving as an adjunct.
