Comprehensive treatment of adult and pediatric spine disorders is provided by the NYU HJD Spine Division, including complex spine problems associated with growth disorders, neuromuscular disorders, and myelomeningocele (Spina bifida).
Surgical care spans the entire spectrum of spinal disorders in children and adults, including:
- spinal deformity
- degenerative disease
- trauma
- tumors
- infections of the spine
Physicians in the Spine program use the most advanced techniques to treat spinal conditions including minimally invasive surgery to treat herniated or ruptured discs, scoliosis, kyphosis and other conditions. However our physicians emphasize non-invasive treatments and preventive medicine.

Orthopaedic Research
Both clinical and basic science research is conducted by the Spine Division, including participation in a national patient outcome study on artificial discs implanted in the lumbar spine, as well as a study on electrical stimulators in the spine for patients with chronic pain.
The Division has also investigated the effects of nutrition on outcomes in patients undergoing major spinal reconstruction and conducted studies on the prevention of venous thromboembolic disease in spine patients.
Other areas of clinical research include spinal fusion in diabetic patients and the use of allografts in lumbar spine fusions. Basic science research conducted by the Spine Division in conjunction with the Musculoskeletal Research Center has focused on improvements in fixation of spinal implants.
