Event Details
AO Spine NA Online Course - Spine Essentials for Residents
Online, N/A, USA
AO Spine North America Principles courses are intended to address the additional training needs and practice gaps of the orthopaedic and neurological spine residents.
This course is designed to offer residents the opportunity to learn:
- AO principles of anatomic reduction of fracture fragments
- Stable fixations to ensure proper healing while allowing the surrounding tissue to strengthen
- Atraumatic surgical technique to preserve the blood supply to the bone fragments and soft tissue
- Early, pain-free mobilization so the patient can be returned to function as soon as possible as they apply to spinal surgery
The course will also provide basic exposure to spinal disorders from expert teaching faculty from both orthopaedic and neurological spine surgery. The modular course format will focus on the spine patient in a conceptual, case study format.

• Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)
- Perform a complete neurological assessment including imaging to identify potentially unstable spinal injuries
- Classify the injury according to fracture morphology, instability, and neurological status
- Apply principles of bone and soft tissue healing when treating spinal injuries
- Assess evidence based operative and non-operative treatment options
- Identify the anatomic and biomechanical issues in spinal fixation
- Discuss rehabilitation
