Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Radiology

His primary scientific interests are in Surgery, Spondylolisthesis, Arthrodesis, Lumbar and Laminectomy. His Surgery study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Oswestry Disability Index. His study in Spondylolisthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neurogenic claudication and Kyphosis.

In his research on the topic of Arthrodesis, Corpectomy and Internal fixation is strongly related with Pseudarthrosis. His work on Lumbar vertebrae as part of general Lumbar research is frequently linked to Context, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Spinal fusion research includes themes of Cervical vertebrae and Incidence.

His most cited work include:

  • Radiculopathy and Myelopathy at Segments Adjacent to the Site of a Previous Anterior Cervical Arthrodesis (1247 citations)
  • Surgical vs Nonoperative Treatment for Lumbar Disk Herniation: The Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT): A Randomized Trial (780 citations)
  • Surgical versus Nonsurgical Therapy for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (766 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Surgery, Lumbar, Retrospective cohort study, Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion and Myelopathy. He combines Surgery and Context in his research. As a part of the same scientific study, Alan S. Hilibrand usually deals with the Lumbar, concentrating on Incidence and frequently concerns with Adjacent segment disease.

His study on Retrospective cohort study also encompasses disciplines like

  • Oswestry Disability Index which connect with Randomized controlled trial,
  • Cohort, which have a strong connection to Cohort study. The various areas that he examines in his Spinal fusion study include Arthrodesis, Cervical vertebrae and Lumbar vertebrae. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Laminectomy and Spinal stenosis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (62.29%)
  • Lumbar (22.07%)
  • Retrospective cohort study (17.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Surgery (62.29%)
  • Retrospective cohort study (17.88%)
  • Lumbar (22.07%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alan S. Hilibrand mainly focuses on Surgery, Retrospective cohort study, Lumbar, Visual analogue scale and Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. His research in Surgery is mostly focused on Pseudarthrosis. His studies deal with areas such as Patient-reported outcome, Logistic regression, Quality of life and Univariate analysis as well as Retrospective cohort study.

His Lumbar research incorporates themes from Decompression and Body mass index, Internal medicine. Alan S. Hilibrand has researched Visual analogue scale in several fields, including Lordosis, Cohort study, Oswestry Disability Index and Degenerative disease. Alan S. Hilibrand interconnects Neck Disability Index, Neck pain, Spinal canal, Cervical spine injury and Physical therapy in the investigation of issues within Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Medicaid Reimbursement for Common Orthopedic Procedures Is Not Consistent. (7 citations)
  • Circulating miR-155-5p as a Novel Biomarker of Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease. (5 citations)
  • Trends in Leadership at Spine Surgery Fellowships. (5 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Radiology

Alan S. Hilibrand mainly investigates Retrospective cohort study, Surgery, Visual analogue scale, Physical therapy and Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. His work deals with themes such as Percutaneous diskectomy, Cohort study, Oswestry Disability Index and Intensive care medicine, which intersect with Retrospective cohort study. His work carried out in the field of Surgery brings together such families of science as Clinical trial and Myelopathy.

While the research belongs to areas of Visual analogue scale, he spends his time largely on the problem of Body mass index, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Incidence, Anxiety and Mental health. His Physical therapy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cervical spine injury and Spinal canal. His Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pseudarthrosis and Neck pain.
