A Practical Approach to Surgeon Preservation

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.

Anterior Approaches to the Thoracolumbar Spine: Tricks, Pearls and Complications

This virtual symposium will cover the role of the anterior approach to the thoracolumbar spine, for the various pathologies including 1) degenerative 2) adult deformity 3) pediatric deformity 4) tumor and 5) trauma. There continues to be an important role for the anterior approach, and discussion of technique and complications of this approach remain important in contemporary spine surgery practice.

Bracing and Exercise Therapy for All Ages

This webinar will provide a systematic analysis of the current evidence and practice guidelines for nonoperative management of patients with spinal deformity for both adolescents and adults. With variations in brace design and evidence for long-term benefits, use the consensus discussed to clarify your current practice and selections. There will be an update on the status of scoliosis specific exercises including the evidence, guidelines, and strategies for implementation.

DIVERSITY: What Do We Mean and Why Does It Matter?

Spinal condition patients comprise a diverse population, including race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, physical ability, and spiritual beliefs. As spine surgeons our demographics often poorly reflects the diversity of the patient populations we serve, which can have a negative impact on our ability to provide optimal care.

Don't Forget the Legs! Spinopelvic-extremity Alignment and Assessment in the Treatment of Spinal Deformities

It is well known in the pediatric and adult population that there is an important balance between the spine and lower extremities. Changes in pelvic parameters can alter strategies in both populations. Lower extremity deformities or leg length differences must be considered to achieve optimal outcomes. Recent studies investigating the relationship between the spine and the pelvis have refined our understanding of pelvic and spinal orientation.

Early Onset Scoliosis: Challenges and Controversies

Learning Objectives:

1) Describe how current treatments for early-onset scoliosis affect the health of children including the potential risks from anesthesia and health-related quality of life. 2) Articulate the actual indications for surgery and children with early-onset scoliosis and when it should be performed. 3) Delineate how the indications for surgery and the proper instrumentation selection change over time and with the child’s individual condition.
