The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Annual Meeting is a forum for the realization of the Society’s mission and goals: the improvement of patient care for those with spinal deformities. Nine faculty-led instructional course lectures, case discussions, 167 abstract papers, and 50 E-Posters will be presented on an array of topics, including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, neuromuscular scoliosis, growing spine, kyphosis, adult deformity, minimally invasive surgery, and machine learning.

In this session, a large faculty covers neuromuscular scoliosis. You will hear multiple takes on pre-op considerations, surgical considerations, and complication avoidance by a diverse faculty.

Learn more about adult spinal deformity correction through this dynamic presentation and case discussion format.

Join an esteemed faculty list and leaders in SRS, to learn how to leverage different skills and strategies to harness your leadership ability.

Lunchtime Symposia 2 covers Developing a Comprehensive Pain Management Program: The Before, During and After. Topics include programs such as SurgeryPal and ERAS, PROMIS Scores, risk factors, recovery options, physical therapy, and pain management.

Lunchtime Symposia 3 discusses the Economic Outlook for Adult Spinal Deformity: Past, Present and Future. Covering topics related to health economics, government advocacy, global perspectives, and AI, you do not want to miss this session.

Lunchtime Symposia 4 addresses Conservative Care for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis by covering prognostic models, brace types and scoliosis specific exercises.

Complimentary access to this course is provided, in part, through support from Amgen, Inc.

Lunchtime Symposia 1 covers Bone Health Assessment and Optimization for Patients Undergoing Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery. Topics include what a comprehensive bone health assessment looks like, treatment options, and the impact of poor bone quality on ASD surgery outcomes.

The Pre-Meeting Courses review the individuals and institutions that make up SRS. These sessions aim to recognize where SRS started and how it has grown overtime. This Pre-Meeting course is about a Global Perspective on Spinal Deformity Care and is split into four sections: Diversity in Spinal Deformity Care, the Impact of Scoliosis around the World, Regional Variations in Scoliosis Surgery, the Effect of SRS and Mission Work around the World.

Spine Deformity surgeons are at an increased risk of overuse injuries of the upper extremity and cervical spine. New EMG studies demonstrate traditional spine surgery with manual instruments places surgeons at risk for injury, and that use of power can dramatically decrease repetitive forces experienced by the surgeon. Similarly, the use of innovative powered surgical instruments has the potential to increase patient safety by decreasing the force placed on a patient’s spine, increasing the accuracy, and decreasing need for imaging.
