Learning Objectives:

1) Analyze the variety of intraspinal anomalies seen and determine the best management strategies for the most common. 2) Classify the types of split cord malformations seen and when these should be treated prior to spine deformity correction. 3) Discuss strategies to minimize neurologic complications in patients with intraspinal anomaly and scoliosis.

As the world continues to change, social media plays an increasing role in all aspects of life, including individual medical practices. This webinar is built to help catch the attention of busy spine surgeons and expose the impact of social media on their practice, keep them up to date and help them be prepared to deal with virtual exposure.

This interactive webinar will provide novel techniques to the spine care provider and allow you to leverage technology in this era of COVID-19 and continue to provide care to your patients, communicate with them via telemedicine and avoid pitfalls in the patient experience, compliance and billing. Bonus material: how to continue team engagement, resident/fellow education and patient communication with the paradigm shift in the way we live and work.

Metabolic bone disease affects all age groups and if left untreated can cause significant morbidity. The purpose of this webinar is to familiarize the attendees with the diagnostic techniques, differential diagnosis and available treatment options. The webinar emphasizes the importance of instituting aggressive treatment of the most common metabolic bone disease, osteoporosis, especially before the consideration of surgery..

Learning Objectives:

1) Define the expected natural history of neuromuscular scoliosis beyond skeletal maturity. 2) Propose a multidisciplinary management strategy to optimize the care of complex neuromuscular patients as they transition from pediatric to adult care. 3) Evaluate surgical methods and goals in the management of ambulant versus non-ambulant adult patients with neuromuscular deformity. 4) Provide strategies to assist transitional care of patient with neuromuscular disease from pediatric to adult institutions.

This joint SRS/SoSORT webinar explores the possibility of expanding indications or utilization of bracing and physical therapy in patients beyond the traditional standards currently in use.

The process of developing a comprehensive research project, writing and funding a grant application involves specific skills. These skills are frequently not taught during residency training but have become increasingly important in academic medicine. That is where having strong mentors can help guide you.

This SRS Webinar for Professionals, in partnership with AO Spine, will provide a global perspective on perioperative management of adult patients who undergo thoracolumbar spinal fusion for degenerative conditions, based on a survey conducted by AO Spine. Practice-focused comprehensive review of current literature and lively discussion with the international expert panel will make it a great educational session.

Significant variability and controversy exist in the post-operative management of patients undergoing major spinal instrumented surgeries. While surgeons have preferences in the management of their patients, little consensus exists in relation to the timing and type of antibiotic use, dressing type and duration, use of drains, and return to regular and more advanced activities. In this SRS webinar, in partnership with AO Spine, we will review the literature related to post-operative care of spinal deformity patients and highlight current trends of practice and areas of controversy that may be amenable to future study.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive and most up-to-date understanding of the various risks for PJK/PJF, as well as the rationale and scientific basis for current and innovative strategies to prevent their occurrence following correction of adult spinal deformity.
