Dr. Osman has practiced orthopedic surgery, focusing mainly on the least invasive spine surgery for the last seventeen years. Dr. Osman has dedicated his time to pioneering endoscopic and endoscopically-assisted spine surgery! He has been involved in the development and patenting of numerous surgical instruments including Uni-directional Dynamic Spinal Fixation Device, method for post-operatively compressing a bone graft, and Biologic Intramedullary Fixation device. He continues to enhance the least invasive spine surgery. More recently, Dr. Osman has developed innovative operating room drapery. He is an active lecturer and diplomat for redefining innovative treatments of debilitating spinal disorders. He has served as a spine consultant to leading spine companies related to minially invasive spine surgery technology. Dr. Osman practices general orthopedic surgery, but his main focus is endoscopic, and endoscopically-assisted spine surgery. He is passionate about minimizing trauma to normal tissues while removing the pain generator(s) of a spine. He is recognized nationally and internationally for his contribution to the field of minimally invasive spine surgery and continues to publish and lecture worldwide about his success in using the least invasive spinal techniques. Dr. Osman also performs complex open and minimally invasive spine procedures and general orthopedic procedures. Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Said Osman has brought innovation and unprecedented advancement to the field of orthopedic spine surgery. As a world-renowned spine surgeon, his quest to develop the latest techniques in least invasive spine procedures is only exceeded by his need to provide the very best care for his patients.

He has also been lauded with numerous honors, like the prestigious The Kambin Foundation Annual Award for research in the field of Minimally invasive spinal surgery and the Best Resident Research Paper Award by Ohio Orthopedic Society. With a thorough understanding of the toll that back pain and neck pain can take on a person’s life, Dr. Osman feels that traditional open back and open neck procedures should not be the only option available to patients.
