Meeting Description
The SRS hands-on courses provide an opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge and improve their skills through training and discussions with leading spinal deformity surgeons from throughout the world. Registration will be limited to ensure access to faculty, small-group interaction for better learning, and opportunities for hands-on work. A minimum of eight hours of the course will be devoted to lab work, with a strong faculty-to-learner ratio. Topics and lab sessions will cover all areas of the spine and a variety of conditions and techniques. The intimate learning theme will begin on night one with small group “Fireside Chats” with faculty and will proceed to presentations, video demonstrations and lab rotations on day 2 and 3.

Target Audience
For residents, fellows and orthopaedic and neurosurgeons who have an interest in and are involved in spinal deformity management and treatment.

About the SRS Annual Meeting
The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Annual Meeting is a forum for the realization of the Society's mission and goals, the improvement of patient care for those with spinal deformities. Faculty-led instructional course lectures, case discussions and abstract papers will be presented on an array of topics, including adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, growing spine, kyphosis, adult deformity, minimally invasive surgery, machine learning, and mental health considerations.

• During a five-year period, held in North America three times and outside North America twice.
• Approximately 1,500 attendees.
• The latest and greatest scientific research, methods, and techniques in spinal deformity.
• 4-day program including Pre-Meeting Course, Scientific Program, Half-Day Courses, Lunchtime Symposia, Case Based Discussions, Industry Workshops, and E-Posters.
• Podium presentations are four minutes in length.
• Minimum two-year follow up required for abstract submissions. The two-year follow up rule does not apply for categories of basic science or biomechanical studies or for topics where two-year follow up is irrelevant, such as 30 day re-admission rates.
• Topics focus on current scoliosis and spinal deformity research.

The Annual Meeting is open to anyone involved in the treatment of spinal deformities including surgeons, residents and fellows, physician assistants, nurses, and other allied health professionals and researchers. The podium presentations will provide valuable information to all individuals caring for patients with spinal deformities.

IMPORTANT to note: The course is no longer held in May 2023 but instead it has been postponed to January 2024, the new dates being 24-25 of January 2024.

This event is aimed at paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, residents and fellows who want to deepen their understanding of the pathoanatomy, pathogenesis, diagnostics and therapeutic strategies of pediatric spine deformities. This comprehensive, interactive course is led by a renowned faculty of European experts in that field. Particular emphasis is put on hands on workshops with direct teaching of skills, tricks & pitfalls and discussions about different approaches and problem-solving including 3D reduction deformities correction, placing of spine anchors (pedicle screws, sublaminar band, rib fixation, salvage techniques), osteotomies among others. 
We hope to be able to provide you with an exciting scientific programme and look forward to your participation.
