What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Christopher I. Shaffrey mainly investigates Surgery, Spinal deformity, Deformity, Scoliosis and Physical therapy.
His research links Sagittal plane with Surgery.
His research investigates the link between Sagittal plane and topics such as Coronal plane that cross with problems in Cobb angle.
Christopher I. Shaffrey undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Deformity and Context in his work.
His studies in Scoliosis integrate themes in fields like Spinal fusion, Quality of life, Retrospective cohort study, Lumbar and Prospective cohort study.
Physical therapy is closely attributed to Physical medicine and rehabilitation in his study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Surgery (62.06%)
- Spinal deformity (21.63%)
- Deformity (20.13%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

- Deformity (20.13%)
- Context (10.73%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Christopher I. Shaffrey mainly focuses on Surgery, Deformity, Context, Scoliosis and Oswestry Disability Index.
His research on Surgery frequently links to adjacent areas such as Cohort.
His research integrates issues of Lordosis, Sagittal plane, Cervical deformity, Internal medicine and Perioperative in his study of Deformity.
His Sagittal plane research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Osteotomy, Orthodontics and Linear regression.
His Scoliosis research includes themes of Pseudarthrosis, Spinal fusion, Pelvic tilt, Coronal plane and Lumbar.
His Pelvic tilt research incorporates themes from Cobb angle and Nuclear medicine.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Laminectomy alone versus fusion for grade 1 lumbar spondylolisthesis in 426 patients from the prospective Quality Outcomes Database. (29 citations)
- Pseudarthrosis in adult and pediatric spinal deformity surgery: a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of incidence, characteristics, and risk factors (29 citations)
- Artificial Intelligence Based Hierarchical Clustering of Patient Types and Intervention Categories in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Towards a New Classification Scheme that Predicts Quality and Value. (26 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Surgery
- Internal medicine
- Radiology
Christopher I. Shaffrey mainly investigates Surgery, Deformity, Scoliosis, Kyphosis and Sagittal plane.
Christopher I. Shaffrey combines Surgery and Oswestry Disability Index in his studies.
His Deformity study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Perioperative, Asymptomatic, Cervical deformity and Retrospective cohort study.
His studies deal with areas such as Coronal plane and Pelvis as well as Scoliosis.
His Kyphosis research focuses on subjects like Vertebra, which are linked to Propensity score matching and Prospective cohort study.
His study in Sagittal plane is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Osteotomy, Orthodontics, Nuclear medicine and Cervical vertebrae.
