2 AO Global Spine Congress Synthes highlights at a glance Dear participant, Synthes welcomes you to the AO Global Spine Congress in Barcelona. We invite you to explore our latest product developments and learn about their impact and how they improve the clinical outcome. You are welcome to visit our booth and both our Instructional Course Lectures: Derotation maneuvers with URS the alternative to the AO deformity correction technique? Date: Thursday, March 24, 2011, 12:05 13:05 Faculty: Prof. Dr. med. Alexander Wild, Hessing Stiftung, Augsburg Germany Location: Room H1, Level -1 Lately more and more alternative techniques to the sideloading based AO deformity correction technique have been established. Synthes latest top loading universal reduction screw supports these new techniques by allowing for gradual rod reduction as well as segmental and global de-rotation maneuvers to correct spinal deformities.

3 Interspinous spacers marketing or real clinical need? Date: Friday, March 25, 2011, 12:15 13:15 Faculty: Dr. Dariusz Latka and Dr. Tomasz Sobolewski, WCM Opole (Wojewódzkie Centrum Medyczne) Poland Location: Room H1, Level -1 In recent years Interspinous spacers have been used for a wide range of indications. The success rate was heavily dependent on the chosen indication. Therefore the real clinical needs of these devices have been controversially discussed. Has poor patient selection led to a bad reputation of Interspinous spacers so far? Who would be the right patient? During this Instructional course you will identify the real clinical need for Interspinous Spacers. We wish you a good time at the AO Global Spine Congress and are looking forward to meeting you soon.

4 Synthes Instructional Course Lecture Derotation maneuvers with URS the alternative to the AO deformity correction technique? Thursday, March 24, 2011, Faculty Prof. Dr. med. Alexander Wild Hessing Stiftung, Augsburg Germany Description This Instructional Course Lecture on derotation maneuvers with Synthes top loading universal reduction screw (URS) provides you a deep insight into a novel deformity correction technique. Segmental and/or global de-rotation have become standard in deformity correction. Additionally, the extended tab screws allow for a more gradual and gentle correction of the spine. Synthes invites you to a lecture conducted by Prof. Alexander Wild as well as a controversial debate on the well proven AO translational correction technique and the newly promoted de-roation techniques with top-loading pedicle screws.

Additionally, patient awareness of alternative treatment to fusion is increasing and with Interspinous spacers, such as StenoFix, surgeons can offer their patients new alternatives for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. The symposium compromises a lecture conducted by Dr. Latka and Dr. Sobolewski as well as interactive discussions. Special emphasis will be given to patient selection, current evidence and implant design.
