Scientific Programme
The Wednesday programme had a lot to offer, starting with Epidemiology, Non-operative Treatment, Patient Safety and continuing with the first congress highlight, debate 1 on the topic To Screen or Not to Screen for Psychological Distress and Surgical Spine Intervention
As always, EUROSPINE Lunch Symposia and the parallel Industry sponsored Lunch Workshops offered a great variety to choose from – topic wise as well as culinary. The concurrent sessions QuickFires on the topics Deformity/Growing Spine, Basic Science and Degenerative Spine again attracted a great number of participants and even overflow areas were in use.
After the last session Adult Deformity, Complications everyone enjoyed the Welcome Reception, which offered food and drinks, as well as society sponsored entertainment in all exhibition areas to guarantee traffic and exposure to all our sponsors and partners alike!
