Dr. Kingsley R Chin is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a professor and board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon who has been innovating and developing spine medical devices since 2000 with over 50 global patents issued to his name. In 2019 he made an unpopular and unimaginable decision to start training pain management doctors to perform outpatient minimally invasive spine surgeries on patients needing decompression for spinal stenosis and spinal fusions.
“I knew orthopedic spine surgeons do not believe pain management physicians should be doing spinal fusions but I also knew pain management doctors were seeing a lot of patients who needed decompression, spinal fusions and sacroiliac joint fusions but were limited to pain medications, spinal cord stimulators and injections which were not treating the underlying mechanical problem,” said Vito Lore, Vice President of Innovation at KICVentures Group.
I saw the opportunity to train pain management doctors to treat more patients so in 2019 I introduced them to percutaneous and fluoroscopic minimally invasive surgery techniques and devices which they quickly adopted and performed safely and effectively,” said Dr Chin. “We have data on the efficacy of our interventional spine technologies for years in the hands of orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons so we only had to customize the techniques and instruments to make them more user-friendly to pain management doctors and focus on training,” said Lore. “It has become a passion for me to fly around the USA every week to train pain management doctors and see them gain confidence and belief when they see how much their patients have benefitted,” said Angel Walker the lead Clinical Specialists and Trainer for KICVentures Group.
“This is validation for KICVentures Group and Dr Kingsley R Chin that their spine technologies are being adopted by us in pain management fairly rapidly and the major pain management societies are accepting the clinical evidence for presentation to us members led by NANS in 2022,” said Dr Soubrata Raikar a leading pain management physician and key opinion leader presenting four abstracts at NANS.
It is a major break from tradition and a precedent to have an orthopedic spine surgeon attend a predominant pain management annual conference such as the NANS 2022 Annual Meeting. Eight abstracts will be presented on Inspan for patients who had spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease who needed spinal fusion. Seven Abstracts will be presented on Sacrix results for treating patients with pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction who successfully underwent a new percutaneous fluoroscopic lateral-oblique Sacrix SIJ fixation technique. There is one presentation on NanoFuse Biologics.
