The format will allow for group discussion and ample opportunity for hands on experience in a dry lab environment. NuVasive, Inc. Title: Thoracic Applications of the XLIF Technique In this ICL, you will learn the surgical technique for approaching the thoracic spine minimally invasively using a lateral XLIF approach. Discussions will include anatomical considerations and indications for thoracic XLIF. Case examples will be presented. Hands-on demonstration of the instrumentation will be available. Stryker SpineTitle: Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Indications, Techniques and Controversies This session will focus on anterior lumbar interbody indications techniques and controversies. Stryker Spine will highlight anterior lumbar plating technology “Thor” and PEEK interbody “AVS AL” applications to demonstrate a comprehensive anterior solution. Zimmer Spine Title: MIS Posterior Cervical, Lumbar Dynamic Stabilization, and Beyond This ICL will cover MIS Posterior Cervical applications using the Atavi® NexPosure® Cervical/Upper Thoracic Access System. The Atavi NexPosure’s unique biased skirt, dual pivoting tube, radiolucent material and four plus levels of access makes the NexPosure the ideal choice for MIS posterior cervical and upper thoracic surgery. The ICL will also cover Dynamic Stabilization applications using the Dynesys® Dynamic Stabilization and Zimmer® DTO™ systems. Dynesys, in conjunction with the Zimmer DTO implant, allows surgeons the flexibility to transition from a dynamic system to a rigid system to treat different stages of degeneration at contiguous levels. Afternoon Sessions 5:45 pm to 6:35 pmMedtronic Title: PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc The purpose of this workshop is to provide an overview of the indications and surgical technique for the PRESTIGE® Cervical Disc. You will learn about the technology, techniques, and trends for cervical disc arthroplasty. Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation (MTF) Title: Novel Biologics Provide Solutions for Spine Surgeons Emerging biologic product entries continue to play a significant role in the management of spinal disorders. Surgeons are constantly challenged when selecting the appropriate bone grafting alternative from the overwhelming array of choices, literature and research. Biologic solutions for fusion and motion preservation will be presented. Come join in the discussion and gain a new perspective. Upon completion of this ICL, the participant will be able to:
Register, listen to the lecture presentation, and participate in case discussion. Stryker Spine Title: "Treatment of Complicated Spinal Deformities” This session focuses on the use of the Xia II pedicle screw system in the surgical treatment of complex spinal deformities. Dr Deckey will illustrate the use of the Xia II system with regard to sacral iliac fixation and thoracic screw instrumentation. Differing treatment options and techniques will be discussed. Syndicom, Inc. in Collaboration With DePuy Spine Title: Collaborative Solutions to Complex Spine Pathology:
A New Approach to an Old Problem Currently, the ability for spine health care professionals to perform research on existing spine pathology and the effects of new or existing technology in treating such pathologies is laborious and limited. This occurs via data collection in a retrospective fashion, and is limited by the ability to promote off - label use of a product even if that product provides a direct benefit to the treatment of such pathology. Collaborative communities can enable and facilitate the creation of single or multi-center study groups, collect data in a virtual prospective fashion and train spine health care professionals on the implementation of new technologies in best practice. This ICL will introduce the concept of such collaboration and demonstrate the benefits of this new model. Click here to download the Instructional Course Lectures Registration Form.
