Overview Orthopaedic surgeon Mostafa El Dafrawy, MBBCh, provides comprehensive spine care to patients with a wide range of spine conditions. Dr. El Dafrawy specializes in complex spinal deformities, spine trauma, degenerative disorders of the cervical and thoraco-lumbar spine, and spinal tumors.
With his expertise in revision spine surgery and spinal reconstruction, Dr. El Dafrawy enhances the lives of his patients by restoring mobility and reducing back pain. He is thrilled to be able to offer spine deformity surgeries and revision surgeries for patients who had a failed back surgery or developed flat back syndrome.
As a physician-scientist, Dr. El Dafrawy is also committed to using basic, clinical and transitional research to investigate novel therapies for spine patients to improve their overall quality of life. His research interests include: adult degenerative scoliosis, kyphoscoliosis and flat back deformities as well as spine tumors, particularly the treatment and management of metastatic spine disease. He has authored numerous research publications and book chapters, and his work has been published in highly respected, peer-reviewed journals, such as Spine, Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Spine Deformity, Journal of Neurosurgery Spine and Orthopedics.
