1 Program Program First-hand knowledge Instructional Course Orthopaedic Spine Surgery 23 rd Ulm Spine Week March 15 th to 20 th, 2015 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Ulm In cooperation with Department of Anatomy and Cellular Neurobiology, University of Ulm Department of Neurosurgery, Military Hospital Ulm

2 Introduction Introduction Dear Ladies & Gentlemen, A dramatic increase of technology in spinal surgery has been witnessed over the past two decades. New concepts such as non-fusion technology and minimal-invasive procedures have been introduced and advocated to improve clinical outcome. This, in combination with the rising number of spine surgery departments, has led to an enormous increase in the number of surgical procedures. Generally, the application of new surgical techniques demands more skills than the use of established techniques does. However, the readiness to adopt such new technology grows much faster than the skills and the experience required. Therefore, theoretical and practical training are of prime importance. The cooperation of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and the Department of Anatomy and Cellular Neurobiology of the University of Ulm with the Department of Neurosurgery of the Military Hospital Ulm enables a unique integration of theoretical and practical training in the setting of an instructional course. A panel of renowned experts in the field of spine surgery will present both classical issues and promising trends in their lectures. Hands-on workshops with sawbones and human cadavers will allow for an integration of the acquired knowledge into practical skills. Three days of the course cover a variety of anterior and posterior techniques required for the treatment of degenerative, rheumatic, traumatic, tumorous, and deformity-related disorders of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. An entire day is dedicated exclusively to novel therapeutical approaches to lumbar disc pathology, to minimally invasive spinal procedures and to lumbar non-fusion technologies, since we believe that these issues deserve specific clarification. The last day of the course addresses issues such as the role of bone substitutes in spinal fusion, failed spine surgery and complications, the management of the osteoporotic spine, and specific requirements in treating patients with spinal cord injury. 2

3 Introduction Introduction In order to share your experience, we will have every day best/worst cases presentations. Therefore, all participants are asked to bring hard copies or electronically stored files of their best and/or worst cases. We are looking forward to interesting cases and alively discussions. We look forward to welcome you to the 23 rd Ulm Spine Week.
