December 12–13, 2025 | Dr. Vitale Participated in ISDS Annual Meeting (International Spinal Deformity Symposium)
Dr. Vitale gave the following talks:
- Friday | Session 5: Analysis and Treatment of Young Adult Idiopathic Scoliosis between AIS and Much Older Adult Patients | How Do Pediatric Spine Surgeons View the Older AIS Patient with “Borderline” Operative Curves?
- Saturday | Session 8: Paper 23: Machine Learning (ML) in Intraoperative Neuromonitoring: Updated Model Integrating Michael Vitale Hemodynamic Data Detects Changes 35 Minutes Earlier Than Clinical Teams
“This weekend, at the 11th Annual International Spinal Deformity Symposium, I gave a talk on borderline surgical AIS curves, focusing on how pediatric spine surgeons should align treatment decisions with patient goals—not just curve magnitude—while recognizing that surgical timing meaningfully changes the scope, burden, and potential benefit of intervention.” —Michael Vitale, MD, MPH
Course Objectives
As a result of this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Discuss the best methods to avoid neurological complications in adult spinal deformity surgery
- Analyze and discuss common cases and treatment options for spinal deformity
- Summarize the most current research in the management of adolescent and adult spinal deformity.
Who Should Attend
Orthopedic and neurological surgeons, fellows, and residents who include spinal deformity surgery in their practices.
“Keep up the good work, I learn more and more every event.” —Past Attendee
