AO Spine continues to share important topics from its studies and the AO Spine Knowledge Forums (KFs) and a series of recorded lectures from the AO Spine KF Tumor are the latest offerings.
The AO Spine KF Tumor is a group of 50 of the world’s leading experts in the treatment and research of spine tumors. At the Basel-Milano-Budapest (BMB) Spine Meeting 2019 in Basel, Switzerland, AO Spine took the opportunity to record some of the KF’s lectures.
In addition to creating new knowledge, the AO Spine KF Tumor members participate in various platforms worldwide to connect with colleagues, maintain friendships and collaborations, mentor one another, and pursue efforts to share recent advancements that will improve treatment for spine oncology patients. Using new, easy-to-operate technology designed by the AO Education Institute, AO Spine KF Tumor surgeons recorded several of their lectures at the latest BMB.
The BMB Spine Meeting 2019 focused on evidence-based treatment of elderly spine patients, spine tumors, and osteoporosis. By publishing these lectures, AO Spine aims to share its surgeons' research, experience, and viewpoints with those managing and treating spinal tumors around the world. The first series features lectures on primary tumors of the spine and metastatic spine disease.
