Chairs: Christopher P. Ames, MD; Ronald A. Lehman, Jr., MD
This workshop focuses on didactic discussions including: sagittal and coronal balance, clinical applications of pelvic parameters, osteotomy techniques, iliolumbar fixation techniques and anatomy techniques utilizing thoracic pedicle screws. Through expert lectures, moderated case discussions and hands-on practice on sawbones, spine surgeons gain practical knowledge and technical skills to improve the care they provide to their spinal deformity patients.
Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
- Recognize various forms of cervical deformity, patient presentations, symptoms, evaluation and surgical treatment;
- Identify issues involved with optimal spinal balance, pelvic parameters, and principles and techniques of revision spinal reconstruction;
- Differentiate between the options for various osteotomy techniques, their indications, results, possible complications, and where these are potentially headed in the future.
The North American Spine Society designates this live activity for a maximum of 3.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
