This course provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented introduction to the instrumentation of the thoracic and lumbar spine, specifically designed for orthopedic residents preparing for the board examination. Participants will deepen their understanding of spinal anatomy, surgical indications, and fixation principles while practicing safe screw placement, rod assembly, and alignment techniques. In collaboration with our industry partner Medacta, they will train on spine models using original instruments and implants, refining their precision and intraoperative decision-making under expert supervision.

To support the preparation, participants receive access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. Featuring photorealistic 3D anatomy models and an AI-powered learning engine, the platform enables them to strengthen their anatomical understanding and monitor their individual progress ahead of the hands-on training sessions.
