He combines extensive expertise with decades of experience to deliver innovative, personalized care to each of his patients.
Dr. Alamin’s research interests include effective treatments for vertebral fractures, spinal deformities, scoliosis, herniated discs, and spondylolisthesis (when a vertebra slides out of place). As principal investigator for multiple clinical trials and research studies, Dr. Alamin has explored nerve ablation as a treatment for chronic low back pain and motion-preserving lumbar fusion techniques. He uses state-of-the-art medical devices, implants, and technology to make spine surgery more effective and help his patients move without pain.
Dr. Alamin is known around the world for the treatment of spine disorders and injuries. He has published more than 65 articles in numerous peer-reviewed journals, including Spine, The Spine Journal, Clinical Spine Surgery, International Journal of Spine Surgery, and Journal of Orthopaedic Research. He has also written several book chapters that focus on diagnosing and treating spine conditions.
A recognized leader in innovative spine surgery techniques, Dr. Alamin has invented dozens of medical devices, methods, and techniques for spine surgery. He holds a number of patents for his inventions, many of which have revolutionized back pain treatments. Physicians around the globe use his techniques and devices to help their patients with spine conditions.
Dr. Alamin has been invited to present at conferences around the globe about spinal fusion procedures, novel techniques to treat spinal stenosis, and the latest medical devices to treat degenerative spondylolisthesis. He has lectured at annual meetings for the Association of Bone and Joint Surgeons, the North American Spine Society, and the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine.
Dr. Alamin is a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He is a member of the North American Spine Society, the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine, the Spine Arthroplasty Society, and the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. -
Derek F. Amanatullah, M.D., Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDerek F. Amanatullah, M.D., Ph.D., is an internationally recognized expert in hip and knee replacement. He helps patients with advanced arthritis and complex joint problems regain mobility and confidence. In addition to primary hip and knee replacements, he is frequently sought out for difficult revision surgeries, often fixing complications such as infection, instability, or persistent pain from prior procedures.
Dr. Amanatullah focuses on what truly lowers surgical risk: the skill, preparation, and coordination of the surgical team. He believes patients deserve care that relies on evidence and expert technique rather than placing the burden solely on weight or other patient factors. This patient-centered approach was highlighted by The New York Times.
As a researcher, he discovered an important new way certain infections can remain “hidden” in the body, shaping how surgeons diagnose and treat joint infections. His impact on the field earned him induction into The Knee Society, an honor held by fewer than 200 surgeons worldwide. Patients choose Dr. Amanatullah for his precision, innovation, and commitment to providing the safest, most effective joint care possible. -
