The Philadelphia Spine Research Society (PSRS) and the Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) welcomes you to the ORS PSRS 7th International Spine Research Symposium. The meeting will be held at Skytop Lodge located in picturesque Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania, a short drive from Philadelphia from November 10-14, 2024. Since 2011, the PSRS has been holding a biennial international symposium that has brought together leading researchers, clinicians, and industry from all parts of the world. The past meetings have been highly successful and received high praise and positive feedback from participants.

This exciting multiday meeting will provide a forum for discussion of the latest research, medical innovations, and the most advanced scholarship in Spine Research. This symposium will foster a greater understanding of the clinical problems associated with degenerative disc disease and will highlight cutting-edge scientific research in areas of basic biology, epidemiology, disease mechanisms, biomechanics, tissue engineering, and imaging of the intervertebral disc. The meeting format will have plenty of networking time in the afternoon and post-dinner and the convenient location of Skytop will provide great opportunities for outdoor and adventure activities that have made Pocono mountains a favorite tourist destination. The program will feature invited talks by several leading researchers. The meeting format will also provide opportunities for new investigators, postdoctoral trainees, and graduate students to present their work in podium/poster sessions and to exchange ideas in an informal setting with experienced investigators at the forefront of their field. The Society will confer its 6th Lifetime Research Achievement Award at the meeting to recognize long-standing contributions of a selected nominee. I hope that you will join us for this exciting meeting in November 2024.

The 18th International Congress will meet in the midst of the beautiful Sonoran Desert in Scottsdale, Arizona.

This course is designed to enhance physician and advance practice provider comfort in the management of patients with diverse spinal disorders and conditions. This two-day course focuses on discussions concerning the management of spinal disorders, as well as technological advancements, controversial spine topics, complications and socioeconomic issues. The course provides a mixture of didactic, case-based and evidence-based guideline review, along with an opportunity for panel discussion.

The 10th Annual Spine Trauma Summit provides an update on the current evidence-based practices in spine trauma care. The meeting combines lectures with interactive sessions to address questions and develop a consensus on best practices for all key areas of spinal cord injuries. It also includes live surgical demonstrations and a hands-on BioSkills session for in-person learners.

This conference will enhance recognition of key injury variables and provide important updates on spinal cord injury management and the latest techniques in minimally invasive spine fracture treatment. Hands-on training for participants will include the most advanced technologies available to improve cognitive as well as haptic skill sets.

The course chairs and directors invite you to attend this interactive and in-depth program on spinal deformity. Sessions are case-based and structured to tackle each deformity condition from beginning to end, including:

Review of relevant research
Analysis of imaging and decision-making
Step-by-step treatment options
Post-op outcomes and complications
Tips & pearls from expert faculty
You’ll return to your practice with numerous insights to use right away. See you in New York for ISDS 2024!

The Annual Meeting gathers leading orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians, residents, and fellows in an international forum. The meeting promotes high quality meaningful research, discussion, and exchange of ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of cervical spine injury and disease. The 29th Instructional Course will be all in-person this year and will be December 11, 2024. The 52nd Annual Meeting will be December 11-14, 2024.

Please join us for this annual must-attend
course! Each December, NYC-MISS brings
national and international practicing
neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons,
fellows, and residents in training to explore
minimally invasive spinal surgery techniques
and navigation for spinal surgery. The entire
agenda is focused on teaching new operative
skills and encouraging debate and discussion
around MIS spine techniques. Combining
didactic and case-based sessions with hands-on
cadaveric dissections and learning on state-ofthe-art simulation models, the course will equip
participants with the skills they need to start
utilizing these approaches in their own practices.

We are honored to host Dr Michael Kelly as our visiting professor for the 18th Annual Spine Symposium.

For three decades, Spine: Base to Summit has been the leading winter spine meeting. This highly interactive CME course is for all surgeons and fellows who include spine surgery in their practice.

Lively discussions in a casual atmosphere cover adult deformity, cervical and lumbar degenerative, trauma, MIS, endoscopy and emerging technologies.

Ample time is provided for attendees to enjoy time on the slopes with their families.

Make plans to join us January 29 - February 1, 2025, for the 28th Annual Selby Spine Conference, taking place at The Chateaux Deer Valley in Park City, Utah.

This course will address the latest advances and controversies in the field of spine surgery. Through didactic lectures, interactive panel discussions, case-based presentations, and debates, the esteemed faculty will share their insights on such issues as:

Robotics and navigation
AI in spine surgery
Spinal deformity
Use of biologics
Interventional and pain procedures
