Christopher Lucasti, MD

Spine Surgery

I specialize in orthopaedic surgery of the spine with emphasis on motion preservation, endoscopic surgery, complex spinal deformity and reconstruction, and spine trauma. Advancing patient care through research, innovation and evidence-based medicine is a cornerstone of my practice. I understand every patient has unique goals, and I believe treatment should be individualized — from nonoperative care when appropriate to the latest surgical techniques when surgery is the best option. I’m excited to work alongside the exceptional team at UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine to provide compassionate, evidence-informed treatment and help patients return to living active, healthy lives.
