EUROPE Event program AOSpine Principles Specimen Course (AMTS) October 16–17, 2014 Muttenz, Switzerland AOSpine—the leading global academic community for innovative education and research in spine care, inspiring lifelong learning and improving patients' lives. AOSpine Principles Specimen Course Welcome to Muttenz Dear colleagues It is a great pleasure to invite you to this AOSpine Principles Specimen Course. The course is targeted for young neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons with 1 to 3 years experience. It focuses on the basic principles and techniques of posterior approaches to the spine, decompression and instrumentation as well as anterior cervical spine approaches and instrumentation. A distinguished faculty of neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons will guide you through the different tasks. The course will be held at the new AMTS (Academy for Medical Training and Simulation) in Muttenz close to Basel which is well equipped and offers ideal requirements for a successful event. Sincerely Oliver Hausmann Chairperson AOSpine Luzern, Switzerland Stefan Schaeren Chairperson AOSpine Basel, Switzerland José Consciência Educational Advisor Lisboa, Portugal 3 4 AOSpine Principles Specimen Course AOSpine Curriculum This educational event carries the AOSpine Curriculum logo.

For more information, visit www.aospine.org Course Description This course is divided in two parts: The first half day will consist of lectures offering the theoretical background for the practicals. During the second day, practical sessions will be arranged around eight cadaveric specimens with a maximum 3 participants per station. Table demonstrators will be closely involved in helping candidates achieving their educational goals. Target Participants This course is aimed at junior neurosurgeons as well as orthopedic surgeons with an established interest in spinal surgery. Spinal fellows at the beginning of their fellowship may also apply for this course. Course Objectives At the end of this course participants should be able to perform in a structured stepwise manner: • Midline posterior approach of the spine as well as far lateral lumbar appraoch. • Posterior decompression of the spine including laminectomy and cross over decompression technique. • Pedicle instrumentation of the thoracic and lumbar spine. • Posterior instrumentation of the cervical spine an cervicothoracic junction. • Anterior approach of the cervical spine. • Anterior discectomy and fusion of the cervical spine.
