Becker’s Spine Review featured leading surgeons from across the country—including Dr. Jeremy Smith of Hoag Orthopedic Institute—in a discussion on how spine surgeons will shape the musculoskeletal landscape over the next decade. In the article, “Spine Surgeons’ Role in the Musculoskeletal Landscape of 2035,” Dr. Smith shares his perspective on how the field is evolving toward coordinated, data-driven, and technology-enabled MSK care. He highlights the expanding role surgeons will play in guiding value-based models, standardizing care pathways, integrating non-operative services, and overseeing multidisciplinary teams to improve long-term spine health at a population level.
