Management of The Aging Spine: Less Invasive Surgical Considerations and Medical Treatment Options
There are inevitable changes to the musculoskeletal system as patients age, which may lead to numerous conditions that may require treatment. Many of these conditions can cause chronic, disabling pain which can often reduce the quality of life of patients. The treatment planning for patients with spinal degeneration and fragility fractures may be long and onerous including physical therapy, bed-rest, medical therapies, and or surgery proposed on an individual basis. The decision-making process should address the timing of any surgery, surgical approach, level of interbody fusion required, correction of sagittal imbalance and the end of the construct. The seminar will also address and discuss the challenging areas of bone disorders and osteoporosis and other medical conditions that often require a co-management approach.
The Challenges
Epidemiology, economic impact, morbidity & mortality
Christoph Siepe, Germany
Vertebral osteoporotic fractures & pharmacology treatments
Pathway for fracture prevention and impact of treatments and management
Opinder Sahota, UK
Considerations for Surgical Management
Percutaneous techniques and specific considerations
Pujan Kavakebi, Austria
Considerations for spinal surgery & the clinical benefits of MIS/LIS techniques in this patient group
Christoph Siepe, Germany
Spinal navigation in fracture treatment
Pujan Kavakebi, Austria
