“Since performing cases overseas I use less implant density than did before I started traveling to China,” Dr. Roye in a Becker’s Spine Review article. “When I’m designing an implant there I have to think about the fact that families are paying for each screw in a way that doesn’t happen here. That’s the difference between having a child treated or not treated, or returning to the operating room multiple times for the growing system, depending on how you place the implant.”
Dr. Roye is certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery. His clinical interests include degenerative spine, kyphosis, pediatric spine deformities, limb lengthening, scoliosis and pediatric hip disorders.
