Background

About Drew Bednar

Dr. Bednar is the Clinical Professor of Orthopedics/Spine at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada where he has practiced academically-oriented adult reconstructive spine surgery over four decades after training at McGill and Spine Fellowship training under Dr. John Kostuik, the great Canadian pioneer of lumbar realignment osteotomy for painful post-Harrington flatback. He is licensed in Ontario and Quebec and holds title to five successful Board examinations and sixty publications to date ranging from surgical outcome studies to tissue and implant biomechanics and even basic anatomy. His wide range of interests complements a practice focus on the optimized delivery of spine surgical care at the absolute current state of our art, and the importance of clinical excellence in an increasingly tech-dominated field where we so easily forget the lessons of our past.
