Dr. Zachary Bailey has achieved a significant technological milestone in spine surgery by successfully completing South Carolina’s first procedure utilizing the combined power of ExcelsiusHub navigation and Excelsius3D imaging platforms. The case was performed at Grand Strand Medical Center. Patients in need of expert spine care are encouraged to call 843-353-3460 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bailey at OrthoSC. Dr. Bailey is available to see patients in North Myrtle Beach at 1621 Highway 17 N.

During this landmark procedure, Dr. Bailey stabilized the patient’s lower spine using advanced, image-guided techniques. The ExcelsiusHub system was used to assist with precise placement of spinal implants, supported by real-time 3D imaging from Excelsius3D. Additional surgical tools, including the Verzera high-speed drill, helped safely relieve pressure on the spine and support implant placement — all contributing to a highly accurate and successful procedure.

“Incorporating new technology isn’t just about innovation, it’s about precision, safety and giving my patients the best possible outcomes. This advancement is a step toward faster recovery and a better quality of life for those we serve,” said Dr. Bailey. “We’re proud to bring this level of innovation to our patients at OrthoSC, giving them access to state-of-the-art spine care close to home.”

This groundbreaking procedure highlights OrthoSC’s commitment to bringing advanced technologies to the operating room and paves the way for broader adoption of advanced robotics-assisted techniques across the region.
