In September, Indiana Spine Group is sponsoring a continuing medical education symposium entitled “BACK TALK: Comprehensive Concepts in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Spinal Disorders”. At this conference I will be providing a few talks – one is on spine surgery; specific to the cervical spine surgery patient. The other talk is on the future of spine care. 

 

During the cervical spine surgery talk, I will be discussing the cervical pathology and diagnoses indicative for spine surgery – both degenerative and traumatic. Additionally, I will discuss common cervical spine surgical procedures, their indications and expected outcomes.

 

In the talk about the future of spine care – I will review the latest FDA-approved technologies and treatments. Additionally, I will discuss interventional and surgical innovations that are either in development or clinical trials. Additionally, this presentation will provide highlights about the cervical artificial discs; i.e. the Prestige™ artificial disc and the Bryan™ artificial disc.
