Another special interest symposium for this continuing medical education program is entitled, “The Osteoporotic Spine”. Co-presenters for this session are Kevin Macadaeg, MD, and Michael Stack, MD. Dr. Macadaeg is a minimally invasive spine specialist with Indiana Spine Group, and Dr. Stack is a rheumatologist with Diagnostic Rheumatology & Research, PC.
Osteoporosis has been identified as a major health concern, and the National Institutes of Health predicts that one in two women and one in four men over the age of 50 will suffer from a vertebral compression fracture. Many times, not diagnosed until there is a fracture – this session will highlight the latest screening and diagnostic guidelines and recommendations. Additionally, there will be a review of the recommended treatments including anti-osteoporotic medications and vertebral augmentation (vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty).
