Thoracolumbar Trauma: This module shows the standards of care for diagnosis, decision making, and management of various trauma situations. It is delivered as a series of cases where the steps in making a diagnosis, defining the management options, and selecting a treatment plan are discussed. An evidence-based approach is applied to each clinical presentation and fracture type.
Adult Deformity: This module shows the current standards in the diagnosis and management of adult deformity. It is the first in a series of three pathways in a comprehensive event about spinal deformities: the Early Onset and Adolescent pathways will be added later.
The content is delivered as a series of lectures and cases structured into four modules:
- Spinal deformities throughout life
- Evaluation of the patient
- Decision making and goals/strategy
- Treatment planning, execution and aftercare

Besides content access, the platform provides everything for conveniently organizing the event at your hospital, from event registration and participant management and pre- and post-event assessments to issuing certificates of attendance.
