Dr. Antonacci has extensive surgical experience in adults and children with particular interest in scoliosis surgery and complex adult reconstructive spine surgery including minimally invasive fusion techniques. He uses cutting edge surgical techniques he has pioneered, such as minimally invasive, muscle sparing fusion surgery, which drastically reduces blood loss, shortens hospital stays, and provides faster recoveries.
He is one of a select few individuals able to perform thoracoscopic vertebral body stapling for scoliosis as an alternative to bracing, thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery, percutaneous and mini-open, and muscle sparing fusion surgery. He is one of a select few orthopaedic spine surgeons in Manhattan and New Jersey who is an active member of the two premier spine societies for spine surgeons — the Scoliosis Research Society and the Cervical Spine Research Society.
