Join us on The Spine Pod as we delve into a behind-the-scenes look at spine surgery with Dr. Armen Khachatryan, a world-renowned orthopedic spine surgeon known for his expertise in motion preservation and cervical disc replacement procedures. Founder of The Disc Replacement Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dr. Khachatryan is pioneering patient care with advanced surgical techniques in motion surgery.
In this episode, Dr. Khachatryan shares his insights on the concept of promoting functional spine surgery, emphasizing the significance of preserving natural range of motion in the spine. Learn about how his surgical approach challenges traditional spinal fusion and his continual drive toward his ultimate goal of enhancing mobility and quality of life for each of the patients he treats. His discussion ranges from his early days in clinical trials with artificial disc replacements, and his most recent trials including the MOTUS lumbar total joint replacement, which just completed enrollment of its U.S. clinical trials.
Listen as Dr. Khachatryan, alongside our hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf, discusses the shifts that have occurred in spine care towards motion preserving alternatives, the evolution of surgical specialization, and the critical role of patient education in making informed treatment decisions.
