25th International Meeting On Advanced Spine Techniques JULY 11–14, 2018 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA

CHAIR’S MESSAGE
Dear Participant,
We would like to personally invite you to Los Angeles, California, USA for what promises to be an inspiring academic meeting. As a Society
we continue to make incredible strides in the field of spinal deformities, and are excited to showcase these advancements at the landmark
25th IMAST with our colleagues from around the world.
To continue providing a world-class meeting with the best educational value, we have streamlined the program, utilizing last year’s popular
program design of abstracts in the morning followed by didactic faculty driven sessions in the afternoon. For the first time we will have sessions
where the audience will be included in the case discussions during the Instructional Course Lectures (ICLs). This year we will also incorporate
additional opportunities for audience interaction within the sessions and introduce a pilot-program of having a dedicated “e-moderator” in
certain sessions that will be taking questions submitted electronically by the audience via their mobile devices.
This year’s Special Symposium session on Wednesday, July 12 from 14:00-15:45, is a two-part session, focusing on “Building Efficiencies and
Minimizing Redundancies” and kicking off the 25th Anniversary celebration of IMAST with “25 Years of IMAST from Those Who Built It.” After
the symposium we encourage delegates to take part in the Hands-On Workshops which will be followed by the Welcome Reception in the
exhibit hall. Be sure to plan to stay through Saturday, as we have a new general session on trauma as well as a Lunch with Experts closing
session, which are sure to be very stimulating.
The program will also include the popular complication and debates series, instructional course lectures (ICLs), and roundtable case
discussions; all led by an international and multidisciplinary faculty. We encourage all delegates to come and experience the interactive and
innovative program we have planned.
We are both honored to serve as your IMAST Chair and Co-Chair again this year. We want to thank those whose leadership and diligent efforts
have created such a successful meeting, including Todd J. Albert, MD; Peter O. Newton, MD; Paul D. Sponseller, MD, MBA; Kenneth MC Cheung,
MD; and the IMAST Committee.
With warmest personal regards,

Ronald A. Lehman, Jr., MD
IMAST Committee Chair

Henry F. H. Halm, MD
IMAST Committee Co-Chair

25th International Meeting On Advanced Spine Techniques JULY 11–14, 2018 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA

GENERAL MEETING INFORMATION
MEETING DESCRIPTION
IMAST gathers leading spine surgeons, innovative researchers, and
the most advanced spine technologies for all areas of spine (cervical,
thoracic and lumbar), most spinal conditions (degenerative, trauma,
deformity and tumor), and a variety of treatment techniques. The
IMAST program will include didactic presentations, panel discussions,
and papers on current research, roundtable case discussions,
debates, complication series and instructional course lectures, all led
by an international and multidisciplinary faculty. IMAST is sponsored
by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS).
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of IMAST, participants should be able to:
•

Assess recent advances in surgical techniques for the treatment
of spinal disorders, compare them with traditional and regional
treatments and determine if and/or when to use them for optimal
patient care.

•

Analyze indications and potential complications for various
procedures and approaches related to spinal surgery and apply
that analysis to treatment decisions.

•

Evaluate and apply principles of minimally invasive surgery (MIS)
in the treatment of degenerative and deformed spines.

•

Determine how to diagnose, treat and manage patients with
cervical degenerative conditions, spinal cord injuries and cervical
deformity.

•

Identify how attention to safety issues facilitates riskstratification.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Spine surgeons (orthopaedic and neurological surgeons), researchers,
residents, fellows, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants,
engineers and company personnel.

25th International Meeting On Advanced Spine Techniques JULY 11–14, 2018 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, USA

ABOUT SRS
Founded in 1966, the Scoliosis Research Society is an organization of
medical professionals and researchers dedicated to improving care
for patients with spinal deformities. Over the years, it has grown from
a group of 35 orthopaedic surgeons to an international organization of
more than 1,300 health care professionals.

or chief of spine division, clinical practice which includes 20% spinal
deformity. After two years, those who complete all requirements are
eligible to apply for Active Fellowship in the Society. Senior Candidate
Fellowship does not include the right to vote or hold office.

MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the Scoliosis Research Society is to foster the optimal
care of all patients with spinal deformities.

PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES
SRS is focused primarily on education and research that include
the Annual Meeting, the International Meeting on Advanced Spine
Techniques (IMAST), Worldwide Conferences, a Global Outreach
Program, the Research Education Outreach (REO) Fund which
provides grants for spine deformity research, and development of
patient education materials.

MEMBERSHIP
SRS is open to orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, researchers and
allied health professionals who have a practice that focuses on spinal
deformity.
Active Fellowship (membership) requires the applicant to have fulfilled
a five-year Candidate Fellowship and have a practice that is 20%
or more in spinal deformity. Only Active Fellows may vote and hold
elected offices within the Society.
Candidate Fellowship (membership) is open to orthopaedic surgeons,
neurosurgeons and to researchers in all geographic locations who
are willing to commit to a clinical practice which includes at least
20% spinal deformity. Candidate Fellows stay in that category for
five years, during which time they must demonstrate their interest in
spinal deformity and in the goals of the Scoliosis Research Society.
Candidate Fellows may serve on SRS committees. After five years,
those who complete all requirements are eligible to apply for Active
Fellowship in the Society. Candidate Fellowship does not include the
right to vote or hold office.
Associate Fellowship (membership) is for distinguished members
of the medical profession including nurses, physician assistants, as
well as orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, scientists, engineers
and specialists who have made a significant contribution to scoliosis
or related spinal deformities who do not wish to assume the full
responsibilities of Active Fellowship. Associate Fellows may not vote
or hold office, but may serve on committees.
Senior Candidate Fellowship (membership) is limited to senior
surgeons, neurosurgeons and to non-physicians members of allied
specialties. This candidacy is a path to SRS Active Fellowship. Senior
surgeons have the opportunity to become Active Fellows of SRS in
two years and not 5 years like the regular Candidate Fellowship track.
They must have 20 years of experience (time spent with fellowship
and training does not count), be a full professor, head of spine unit

2017 RESEARCH GRANT RECIPIENTS
The SRS Research Grant Committee would like to congratulate the following 2017 grant recipients:
OVERVIEW OF SRS RESEARCH PROGRAMS
The SRS Research funds are dedicated solely to research seeking improved treatments, the causes and possible prevention of spinal
deformities. Since 1994, SRS has provided more than $4.4 million for 137 spinal deformity research projects from the institutions all over the
world, including the United States, Australia, Canada, China, France and Israel. These have included studies on improved spinal cord monitoring
during surgery, brace treatment effectiveness, methods to improve fusion rates, and three large studies looking for the cause of idiopathic
scoliosis.
In 2017, SRS received 38 grant applications, requesting a total of over $1.3 million. The following 6 projects were selected for funding.
