The Annual Scientific Conference of the Canadian Spine Society provides a contemporary review of spine surgery and spine care in Canada. The conference is a joint meeting of the Canadian Spine Society and the Canadian Paediatric Spine Society that encompasses a full range of spinal problems and current solutions. This year the focus will extend from the best means of triaging back pain patients to avoid unnecessary surgical intervention to the complication of post-operative spinal infection. Paediatric presentations will include the ongoing study of home-based pain management following scoliosis surgery and the status of the national spine registry. The program offers a carefully constructed mix of didactic lectures, research updates and interactive symposia. It offers an opportunity to obtain valuable continuing medical education while engaging in a vibrant exchange of ideas and points of view. Attendees will come away with a comprehensive overview of the Canadian approach to spine.
