Todd J Albert, @SRS_org president, gave a stirring keynote address at #IMAST2018 on physician burnout, advocating for the adoption of individual- and institution-level interventions to help lessen the strain on surgeons’ #mentalhealth https://t.co/QRZ1ecUkpm
.@Columbia research presented at @SRS_org #IMAST2018 found that for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, correction of the main thoracic curve with relative under-correction of the proximal thoracic curve increases incidence of postop shoulder height imbalance https://t.co/a156RNvGxC
Last weekend, @LLenkeMD and two of our spine fellows won the prestigious Whitecloud Award at #IMAST2018 for their study "The Relative Curve Correction is More Important than UIV Selection for Shoulder Balance in Lenke Type 1 and 2 AIS," https://t.co/e2zdq7g6W8
"Preoperative patient education is the most important thing" - Todd Albert concluding the session on value based healthcare #IMAST2018
"In surgery, we think linearly, in a Newtonian fashion. The majority if things in life are non-linear. Spine pathology is a classic complex adaptive system. There are multiple bio-psycho-social influencing factors" - Marinus De Kleuver on predictive analytics in spine #IMAST2018
Current fellow, Lorena Floccari, M.D., is representing the hospital at #IMAST2018 presenting our latest #spine research.
In a review of 909 patients, minimally invasive surgery with an approach anterior to the Psoas (ATP) is found to be feasible and safe to perform anterolateral fusions between T12-S1, with no need for neuromonitoring - research presented by Harish Kempegowda #IMAST2018
84.6% of #IMAST2018 respondands think global spine alignment is the most important factor in limiting the risk of proximal functional failure

Lawrence Lenke is now arguing in favour of the TLIF procedure in deformity correction, in a talk entitled "I can get great correction with lordotic cages and good technique without the morbidity"
#IMAST2018
"In most surgeons' hands, the most consistent restoration of lumbar lordosis can be achieved with ALIF. The ALIF is the more viable option if you really want to achieve restoration in the sagittal plane" - Christopher Shaffrey
#IMAST2018
DEBATE #2
ALIF vs. TLIF for sagittal restoration in deformity correction
Christopher Shaffrey is now advocating the ALIF procedure for correction and lordosis

Bruce Dall recently wrote a feature for @SpinalNewsInt arguing that the joint urgently needs more attention; you can read his take here: https://t.co/nSN5crR3tV
"The pelvic incidence change may be substantial after adult spinal deformity correction due to sacroiliac joint mobility. This effect should be considered when planning correction," concludes Christopher Kleck in his #IMAST2018 talk, 1 of 9 nominees for Best Basic Science Paper
54% of doctors say they are burned out
88% of doctors are moderately to severely stressed
59% of doctors wouldn't recommend a career in medicine to their children

"For patients undergoing multilevel lumbar interbody fusion, the clinical benefits of an MIS technique appear to diminish as a function of fusion length" #IMAST2018
The first IMAST chair Randal Betz kicks of #IMAST2018 with an illuminating talk on the history of the conference. Back in 2002, IMAST was the first conference to discuss the XLIF procedure, an example of the novelty showcased at this meeting
