Ep. 05 - The Intersection: Motion Preservation & Complex Spine Surgery, Alan Daniels, MD & Bassel Diebo, MD
On this episode of The Spine Pod, we dive into the synergistic nature of complex spine surgery and motion-preserving techniques driving innovative options and enhanced patient outcomes. Dr. Alan Daniels and Dr. Bassel Diebo, renowned complex spine surgeons at University Orthopedics in Rhode Island, sit down and share their compelling journeys to becoming leaders in spine care, blending academic excellence and practical innovation to drive the highest-quality care in their practice. As members of the ISSG (International Spine Study Group) and generating a combined 500+ publications and 1,000+ podium presentations, Dr. Daniels and Dr. Diebo provide extensive research experience to shed light on the newest techniques and procedures driving the future of spine care.
This episode explores the role of sagittal balance, alignment, and motion preservation in long-term patient outcomes, the importance of a holistic, whole-body approach in spine care, and the necessity of patient education and clinical training in providing novel treatment options. The conversation concludes with a focus on the future of spine care, including the potential for motion preservation and arthroplasty. From complex deformity cases to the latest advancements in motion preservation, learn how their collaborative approach is pushing the boundaries of spine care.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How motion-preserving techniques are being incorporated into complex spine and deformity procedures.
- The significance of restoring alignment and balance and preserving natural motion in spine surgery.
- The role of hybrid motion constructs and their long-term benefits for patients.
- The importance of understanding adjacent joints - the knees, hips, pelvis, and ankles, when treating spine conditions.
- The role of patient education in providing and scaling new treatment options.
- The necessity of pairing functional metrics with patient reported outcomes and radiographic measures to evaluate post-operative success.
Join us as we delve into the intersection of motion preservation and complex spine surgery, discovering how these two experts integrate innovative techniques from both motion preservation and spinal fusion to enhance patient care.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
