    Dr. Ramsin Benyamin gives a presentation on the misrepresentation of the true efficacy and safety of vertebroplasty for compression fractures. He goes into great detail to explain how several poorly designed studies have disputed the effectiveness of the procedure. He reveals the many flaws of these studies: including poor patient selection, unrealistic placebo procedure, poor statistical analysis, etc.

    Dr. Aaron Calodney demonstrates the proper technique to access the ideal portion of the iliac crest for obtaining bone marrow aspirate (as a source of mesenchymal stem cells). This includes the correct fluoroscopic imaging, angle of entry for the Jamshidi needle, and the correct use of the syringe for the suction of the aspirate. He then demonstrates how to reproduce this process to gather the needed volume of 60 cc of aspirate.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]

    Dr. Andres Betts demonstrates how to properly advance the cannula for a mechanical lumbar-kyphoplasty. He discusses the importance of using proper fluoroscopic views to ensure optimal cannula placement as well as patient safety. Dr. Betts explains the advantages of this technique over a balloon kyphoplasty; one major advantage being it is a unipedicular technique.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]

    Dr. Kent Remley lectures on osteoporotic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine. His slide presentation includes etiology, clinical presentations (including biomechanics), treatment options, and prognosis. Dr. Remely then details several treatment procedures including kyphoplasty, biologics, and expandable implants. Literature is also discussed.

    Dr. Chang Chien gives an in depth talk on the pathophysiology of tendon and ligament degeneration and inflammation. He goes into detail on the standard treatments for these soft tissue pathologies and how recent data suggest that platelet-rich plasma. (PRP) be an extremely synergistic treatment when added with analgesics and corticosteroids. He discusses several studies to support these claims in more detail.

    Dr. Steve Aydin gives an extremely informative presentation on the use of bone marrow derived-mesenchymal stem cells for regenerative medicine. He explains why mesenchymal stem cells are superior to platelet-rich plasma and how bone marrow is a better source of these stem cells than adipose tissue. He details the equipment and techniques of bone marrow aspiration to extract the bone marrow.
