Louis Amorosa, M.D., is a board certified orthopaedic spine and trauma surgeon. He specializes in cervical spine surgery, scoliosis surgery, and minimally invasive spine surgery. He also treats fractures, including pelvic and acetabular fractures. He offers a nonoperative approach to spine-related issues, but if necessary to restore optimal function, he performs minimally invasive and motion preserving spine surgery and avoids open fusion surgery whenever possible. He has lectured nationally and published in textbooks and peer-reviewed journals on disc replacement surgery, spinal deformity, spinal trauma, and degenerative spinal conditions as well as various aspects of orthopaedic trauma surgery. He is a retired Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve Medical Corps. He enjoys hiking, biking, gardening, piano, and time with his family.
