Spine surgeon Isador Lieberman, MD, said he’s wary of two trends making headways in the industry. Dr. Lieberman, of Plano-based Texas Back Institute, shared his experiences on the Becker’s Spine and Orthopedics Podcast. Dr. Isador Lieberman: There’s two big trends that I’m seeing right now, both of which are a little concerning to me. The first trend is the use of social media in spine surgery. But I do see a trend where social media is embellishing what’s going on out there in spine surgery, where individuals are promoting themselves inappropriately.
