Smith Speakers: Christopher P. Ames, Kyle Jeray, Tyler R. Koski Description: This symposium introduces Own the Bone to the spine community to encourage spine practitioners caring for patients with osteoporosis to take ownership. The symposium emphasizes the use of diagnostic tests, initiating treatment, and providing leadership to develop fracture liaison programs. Further, the symposium reviews the pathophysiology of metabolic bone disease. The assessment of osteoporosis and the estimation of fracture risk are discussed. Although most spine practitioners will not provide pharmacologic management, the use of these agents and their effectiveness are reviewed so that patients may be appropriately advised whether they have optimal treatment. Nutritional and vitamin deficiencies are common in osteoporotic patients and can easily be addressed by spine practitioners. Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this symposium, participants will gain strategies to: > Motivate spine practitioners to diagnosis and begin medical management of patients with metabolic bone disease. > Recognize the value to patients of fracture liaison services. > Identify patients at fracture risk from osteoporosis. > Advise patients regarding pharmacologic therapy to manage osteoporosis. > Recommend nutritional supplementation and rehabilitation in patients with osteoporosis. > Recognize surgical considerations for patients with osteoporosis. 12:30 12:45 pm The Pathophysiology of Metabolic Bone Disease Kyle Jeray 12:45 1:00 pm Assessment of Osteoporosis Justin S.

Okonkwo, Charles Sansur Course Description: The use of image guidance in spine surgery has enhanced our ability to safely and reproducibly place hardware in the spine. There are many factors that can influence the efficacy of intraoperative navigation in the spine. Initially surgeons were using intraoperative navigation on revision cases, but now it is routinely being used for one or two level cases as well as the cervical spine. The course is specifically designed for neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons who are practicing spine surgery and would like to learn more about spine navigation. In addition, it is for surgeons who are already using spine navigation but would like to extend the capabilities of their navigation system to do more complex cases. > Maximize spine hardware placement accuracy. > Increase efficiency of spine navigation. > Describe bailout strategies. 12:30 12:45 pm Navigation in Spinal Deformity David O.

Tumialan, Rishi Kumar Wadhwa Course Description: In this course, participants will engage in hands-on learning of innovative new technologies in spine and peripheral nerve surgery. Taught as a fourhour cadaver lab, participants will learn advanced techniques in minimally invasive and deformity spine surgery and peripheral nerve repair. Rotations include direct lateral lumbar approaches, minimally invasive lumbar fusion, percutaneous screw fixation, endoscopic decompression, spinal deformity correction, and peripheral nerve grafting. One-on-one instruction will be performed with experienced faculty using the latest state-of-the-art instrumentation and devices. Surgeons with limited prior experience will learn practical techniques to introduce into their clinical practice. Those with advanced experience will have the opportunity to share surgical technique refinement with expert faculty, and to survey a variety of new technologies. > Describe indications and techniques for various new technologies in spine surgery. > Describe indications and techniques for various new technologies in peripheral nerve surgery. > Describe complication avoidance and management for various new technologies in spine and peripheral nerve surgery. 7:00 9:00 pm Young Neurosurgeons Reception and Dinner Speaker: Philip R.
