Description

CONTENT AND FORMAT

This educational programme addresses the treatment of adult deformity and covers techniques such as Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy (PSO), navigated iliac screw fixation and complex adult cases including 4 rods constructs.  

The importance and incidence of sagittal balance and pre-op planning in the treatment of adult deformity patients will also be discussed. The format will include expert’s opinion, lectures and cases presentations. 

During the interactive plenary sessions, the participants will discuss patient’s selection and treatment options.

Demonstrations of the surgical techniques will be performed during the anatomical workshop. Attendees will get the opportunity to discuss in small groups and to practice all presented techniques under the supervision of adult deformity experts at the anatomical workshop.

Audience

This intermediate training is dedicated to spine surgeons experienced in the treatment of adult scoliosis, having at least 2 years of practice for this type of surgery, and willing to reinforce their knowledge by interacting with adult deformity experts and peers.

This course will allow the participants to strengthen their knowledge and expertise in the treatment of more complex cases and techniques. Attendees should perform between 15-30 deformity cases per year.
