Rick Sasso, MD

In mid-October, I attended the North American Spine Society’s (NASS) 23rd Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada. 

While attending this meeting, I was a co-presenter and here are a few of the presentations that I gave:

• Total Disc Replacement for Treating Lumbar Discogenic Back Pain: A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Flexicore® vs. 360 Spinal Fusion
• Motion Characteristics and Related Outcomes for a L-TDR Device with a Fixed Center of Rotation
• Predictors of Outcome Following Anterior Surgery for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Results from a Multicenter Prospective Clinical Study with
  Independent Outcomes Assessments Surgical Treatment for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: One Year Outcomes of a Prospective, Multicenter Study of 316 Patients
• A Comparison of the Dynamic Compliance Characteristics of Prosthetic Cervical Disc Materials
• Radiographic Results from the Bryan® Cervical Disc IDE Study

I also was a co-chair of a technique workshop on Interbody Fusion Technologies.
