Sagittal Alignment and Anterior Correction Techniques Instructional Course

Welcome to the Sagittal Alignment and Anterior Correction Techniques Instructional Course focusing on the sagittal parameters and techniques to achieve global sagittal alignment through the disc space via the various Anterior approaches to the Spine. Sagittal plane measurements are recognized as being the most important radiographic parameters across numerous spinal pathologies. You will therefore learn how to analyse the key Sagittal parameters by identifying imbalance and how to work through the ways of identifying the best surgical options for each patient. The various anterior approaches are then described and trained by the expert faculty to be followed by hands-on practice in the cadaveric lab. The course concludes with discussion around the associated vascular complications with hands-on repair techniques in the live tissue lab. This course is a unique opportunity to combine and get familiar with the pre-op sagittal alignment planning and the surgical treatment of the degenerative deformities of the spine by sharing knowledge between the faculty and delegates.
