WELCOME TO FACULTY AND ATTENDEES

Welcome to the inaugural series of ten CME accredited sessions, brought to you through the collaboration with RRY Publications, its publisher Robin R. Young and the Allegheny Health Network. 

This new program is designed to present current concepts in spine, orthopedics, surgical robotics, augmented reality and artificial intelligence tools, sports medicine, and neurosurgery and regenerative medicine in a novel, online manner designed to maximize the quality of the educational experience. 

Over the course of the past 12 months, the ability to deliver orthopedic and spine services to patients while also initiating and bringing to completion important research projects, has been disrupted by the COVID pandemic. We believe it is our responsibility to work on behalf of the orthopedic and spine research community, to carry the mantle of research by way of this forum for new and interesting research and ultimately, support the growth and development of spine, neurosurgery, and orthopedic care. 

For the Allegheny Health Network’s Orthopaedic and Neurosurgery Spring Spine Meeting, speakers will be presenting on the following topics:

  • Best Spine Surgery Practices in the Ambulatory Surgery Center Setting
  • Implant Retention or Removal for Management of Surgical Site Infection after Spinal Surgery — Global Spine Journal: 2020
  • Evolution in surgical approach, complications, and outcomes in an adult spinal deformity surgery multicenter study group patient population — Spine Deformity Journal 2020
  • In which cases do surgeons specializing in total disc replacement perform fusion in patients with symptomatic lumbar disc degeneration? — The Spine Journal:2020
  • Comparison of Stand-alone Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion Versus Open Laminectomy and Posterolateral Instrumented Fusion in the Treatment of Adjacent Segment Disease Following Previous Lumbar Fusion Surgery — The Spine Journal: 2019
  • The Safety of Single and Multilevel Cervical Total Disc Replacement in Ambulatory Surgery Centers
  • Current Reimbursement Trends and Forecasts

It is our objective to be among the most current CME meetings available to orthopedic and spine physicians. To that end, please do not hesitate to contact either me or Robin Young (robin@ryortho.com) regarding important topics or studies that should be covered in these meetings.
