Dr. Braun's research interest in disorders of the spine has already started to revolutionize the standard treatment of spinal deformities, such as scoliosis. His extensive work over the past 6 years with animal models has set the stage for human studies that will be greatly enhanced with a prognostic test. Medtronic Sofamor Danek has awarded Dr. Braun several large research grants from 1998 to the present. Through this research, he has developed three patent-pending fusion-less scoliosis devices (Titanium Bone Anchor, Biologic Bone Anchor and Concave Distraction Spacer).
