6th Annual Evidence & Technology Spine Summit

Steamboat Springs, CO  January 14-17, 2010

Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to announce the sixth annual Evidence & Technology Spine Summit, located in the breathtaking beauty of Yampa Valley, Colorado.  The course will present the most current thinking and evidence-based medicine in new technologies related to spine care from both operative and nonoperative perspectives. The course is designed to stimulate controversial discussion and provide insight into the application of new technology to common spine problems. We look forward to your participation in this exciting and worthwhile education program.

In addition, this year we are proud to offer a compelling keynote debate on "Vertebroplasty vs. Placebo".  Please join David Kallmes, MD - Mayo Clinic Neuroradiologist and Senior Study Investigator - and Gunnar Andersson, MD - Chair of Spinal Deformities, Rush University Medical Center - for a lively debate on the issue.  Link to the Spine News International article on vertebroplasty HERE.
