of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and University of Wisconsin Department of
Orthopedics and Rehabilitation comes detailed information about spine surgery
statistics.
Spine surgeons disagree about 75% of the time as to how to treat
low back pain.
(1) More specifically, these factors are influential:
- Location: Disagreement was highest among southwest surgeons
(82%) and lowest among midwest surgeons (69%).
- Practice Type: Disagreement was lower among academic
practice surgeons (56%) and higher among private practice surgeons (79%).
Academic-based practice surgeons are about 4 times more likely of choosing no
surgery than those in private practice.
- Specialty Training: Surgeons with fellowship training were
twice as likely to not do surgery than those without such training. (1)
