Held in the reputed Nisa private Clinic, this course brought together 25 Neuro and Trauma surgeon from all over Andalucía: Seville, Cadiz, Huelva, Cordoba, Malaga and Granada.

This course was hosted by three of the most experienced MIS surgeons in Spain who monitored the practical cadaver sessions and the theoretical lectures, which included several discussion on clinical cases. The audience was diverse and included both experts and novice surgeons who shared their experience with MIS techniques.

Spineart SA participated in the largest healthcare exhibition in the Middle East and Asia on January 24-28 in Dubaï. The 2016 meeting showcased SCARLET®AC‐T and TEKTONA® (Vertebral Compression Fractures device), our last innovative products.

We used this conference as an opportunity to meet with our distributors from the Middle East and new partners in the area.

We are already making plans to participate in the 2017 meeting which will be hosted on January 30-February 2.

Dr Juan M. Valdivia, MD, FAANS, successfully corrected an adult deformity with a novel hybrid construct technique, using ROMEO®2 and ROMEO®2 MIS systems. The procedure, performed in 2 stages, involved the placement of lateral interbody devices at L1-L3.

The pedicle screw placement was performed with an open technique (midline incision) at T11- L1; at L2-L5 the screws were placed with a minimally invasive technique (percutaneous) and then fixated with a percutaneous rod. A MIS Smith Petersen-type osteotomy was performed to allow percutaneous correction of the coronal deformity, as well as a percutaneous coronal in-situ bending.

This combination of techniques allowed Dr Valdivia to complete the procedure with minimal blood loss in a patient presenting with a BMI of 48.

Dr Valdivia, after the case commented: ‘” I have chosen to perform the hybrid construct with the ROMEO®2 because ease-of-use and efficiency is the trademark of the system, even in a complex procedure. The reduction towers and the ROMEO®2 25D screws allowed me to perform a better derotation maneuver”.

Dr Valdivia is currently working at the Tampa BayCare Brain and Spine Institute, FL.

It includes cervical cages, plates and cage-plates (TRYPTIK®), lumbar cages (JULIET® PLIF, TLIF, ALIF) and the renowned thoracolumbar osteosynthesis system, ROMEO®2.

This enables Spineart to address 90% of the fast-growing Chinese market (DDD, trauma, and deformities).

Spineart is delighted to confirm the outstanding success of its latest Spineart Academy course held in Madrid on April 9th-10th 2015.
