This 5-day course addresses the spectrum of spine diseases via didactics, case studies, and panel discussions, whether it is secondary to trauma, deformity, or common degenerative conditions. A unique split curriculum covers strategies for both surgical spine management and nonoperative approaches, including epidemiology, clinical anatomy, biomechanics, clinical assessment, and spine imaging review. Spinal injection strategies for various common spinal conditions, safety, and efficacy are examined, as well as post traumatic surgical management, adjacent segment disease issues, and comparison between various surgical techniques such as motion preserving and fusion. Differential diagnosis and the global burden of spine disease are emphasized, discussed, and debated.

Join us for our 3-day head-to-toe sports medicine conference. We are excited to again offer two tracks in our conference, one for primary care providers and one for athletic trainers and physical therapists. On days 1-2 we will present the top sports medicine injuries and conditions along with demonstrations of the relevant physical exams. Starting the afternoon of day 2 and continuing into day 3, learners have the option to join smaller workshops and to choose which talks best fit their learning goals.
Some topics that are of interest to all will be presented in a large group format, such as Sports Concussion Update, Orthobiologics in Sports Medicine, Non-Biologic Injections in Sports Medicine, and Sports Nutrition. We will concurrently have many small group workshops. Some workshops will be geared towards those with less sports medicine experience, such as the series of essential physical exam workshops. Other workshops will be useful for those with more sports medicine experience, such as the series of advanced physical exam workshops as well as talks on Sideline Concussion Evaluation Pearls and How to Assess Readiness to Return to Play in the PT Office and Training Room. This course will be super high-yield for primary care providers, athletic trainers and physical therapists caring for patients of all ages who have all types of exercise and sports-related concerns.

Why accept an 80% success rate for most cartilage repair treatments, or less with follow-up? Is it a given, or can we improve? Are our methods or knowledge limited?A comprehensive ICRS Focus Meeting will address those questions, offer some answers, and help doctors, physiotherapists, sports scientists, a.o. to get better in cartilage repair and regeneration. Although much focus has been placed in recent years on the efficacy and efficiency of various techniques for treating cartilage damage in the knee joint, the indication and selection of patients is the most important parameter in cartilage regenerative therapy. This ICRS Focus Meeting focuses...

The 2023 UCSF Techniques in Complex Spine Surgery Course is a three-day course emphasizing pioneering trends in spinal surgery. This course is designed to be interactive with didactic lectures given by leaders in the spine community as well as a hands-on bioskills lab portion. Participants will review and practice surgical principles and techniques in the treatment of spinal deformities and tumors. Interwoven into the course is the 4 University ("4Us") Symposium, which will allow engagement with international spine surgeons from South Korea, China, and Japan. As a result of hands-on sessions and case conferences with national and international leaders in spine surgery, residents, fellows, and surgeons with less than an advanced level of experience will have improved skills in cases dealing with complex spinal deformities.
The UCSF Pediatric and Adult Spine Surgery Course is a three-and-a-half-day event emphasizing pioneering trends in pediatric and adult spinal surgery.

The UCSF Pediatric and Adult Spine Surgery Course is a three-and-a-half-day event emphasizing pioneering trends in pediatric and adult spinal surgery. This course is designed to be interactive with didactic lectures given by leaders in the spine community. Participants will review surgical principles and techniques in the treatment of complex spinal disorders. Expert lecturers will describe the state-of-the-art treatment for a variety of Pediatric and Adult Spinal Disorders. Interactive case presentations will allow learners to apply knowledge to improve decision-making for complex spine pathology.

Osteotomy is an essential tool for any sports or knee surgeon. Our eminent faculty contains key opinion leaders in the field of osteotomy surgery from around the world. The course would benefit surgeons of all levels of experience with osteotomy, from residents to established surgeons wanting an update on new technologies to enable precise planning, predictable execution, and safer surgery.
The comprehensive programme covers all osteotomies practised about the knee and will include their indications, rationale, modern planning, current implants, and surgical techniques.
Workshops will cover traditional planning methods and the latest digital methods. Practical sessions using bone models will be held on the finer points to allow you to achieve your planned corrections reliably and safely. There will be sessions on how to avoid pitfalls and successfully manage them, with faculty sharing their surgical tips and tricks.

Imaging and Decision-Making in Cartilage-Regenerative Surgery
Advanced Imaging Technology in radiology, particularly Magnetic Resonance Imaging, has emerged during the last decades and has always been the focus of cartilage repair. The proper treatment indication before surgery and a relevant noninvasive evaluation of the outcome after surgery is essential and can be strongly supported by noninvasive imaging. Additionally, imaging can evaluate and monitor the efficacy of newly developed surgical cartilage repair techniques.
The semiquantitative MOCART Score was developed in Vienna 20 years ago and was a hallmark in the systematic morphological analysis of cartilage repair. Moreover, new compositional MR methods such as T2 mapping, dGEMRIC, sodium imaging, gagCEST imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging were developed or improved in Vienna and applied for the first time in patients after cartilage repair surgery. Also, cell-based cartilage repair therapies were applied and studied in Vienna by pioneers in the field and published with partners all over Europe. Austria was also one of the first countries in Europe with a remuneration of ACT in the social system.
Five years after our last meeting on imaging and cartilage surgery, we will meet again in Vienna for a Focus Meeting to revisit the latest developments in surgical technology and new imaging scoring systems like MOCART 2.0 on various joints and new advanced compositional MR methods such as texture analysis.
A comprehensive wet-lab skills course on human specimens will start at the Vienna Anatomical Institute and will be held on Monday morning. In the afternoon, talks will follow on the updated MRI and radiology technology, including the latest news from the Artificial Intelligence sector. Clinical scientists, surgeons, and experienced radiologists will discuss and present the latest insights in imaging interpretation for indication and evaluation in cartilage surgery.
The Medical University of Vienna, with its High Field MR Center and the ICRS expert group in Austria, welcomes an international faculty and audience to meet again after the pandemic to support ICRS mission: education, skills and science in cartilage repair - worldwide!
The vibrant city of Vienna will serve as a fruitful and exciting background to host this Focus Meeting. So, learn about the MOCART Score and "See what you can do in cartilage repair!". But also enjoy inspiring Mozart music and visiting the perfect fine arts of Vienna's cultural heritage.
