of instrumentation in patients with spinal infection. Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine 12(5): 647659, 2010
This article reports on the important clinical problem of spinal infection and its surgical
treatment demonstrating that stabilizing the spine with hardware is safe and has a low reinfection rate as long as through debridement is done. I was the acting senior author over
viewing the project, formulating the objective, plan and discussion, providing most of the
reviewed surgical patients and reviewing /editing the manuscript. The first author is a
trainee.

anterior vertebroplasty for C-2 metastatic lesions. Neurosurgical Focus 25(2):E4, 2008
This article demonstrates a modification of surgical technique to allow of stabilization of
a compromised C2 vertebra using a minimal access anterior cervical approach to inject
methylmethacrylate. The importance of this article is that it demonstrates a much safer
technique to inject cement to the C2 compared to the regular transoral approach and also
avoids major occipital cervical fusion in cases with pathological C2 fracture in which the
bone purchase does not allow for odontoid screws. I was the senior author describing the
surgical technique, providing the clinical material and editing/reviewing the manuscript.
The first author is a resident.

This article was selected for republication from 2005. It compares a new Red nucleus
based method for targeting the sub thalamic nucleus to previously described methods of
direct and indirect targeting for deep brain electrodes insertion at the sub thalamic
nucleus for Parkinson's disease. As a coauthor, I participated in the research plan,
analyzing the data using the Stealth neuronavigation system to obtain the post-operative
target coordinates and writing the materials section.

This is the first time this article was published in 2005. It was republished in 2008. It
describes 3 techniques of sub thalamic nucleus targeting comparing a new method
utilizing the red nucleus as an internal fiducial to the known direct and indirect targeting
methods for STN DBS. My role was analyzing the data using the stealth neuronavigation
to re draw the trajectories and measure the distances between the active DBS contacts
and the red nucleus, sub thalamic nucleus and mid commissural points. I also reviewed and
edited the manuscript.
