Pre-Day Courses

Start your EUROSPINE experience with a full day of focused, in-depth learning — before the main programme begins.

Tuesday, 6 October | Full-day courses

Start your Annual Meeting experience with focused, in-depth learning on topics that deserve more time and closer attention. The Pre-Day Courses give you the opportunity to build stronger foundations, deepen your understanding of complex clinical questions, and take away practical insight you can bring back into your daily work.

Two courses run in parallel on Tuesday, 6 October 2026 (11:00–18:00), the day before the main programme begins. Separate registration is required.

Ageing Spine

Date & time: Tuesday, 6 October 2026 | 11:00–18:00

Strengthen your approach to one of the most important and challenging patient groups in spine care. This course gives you broader insight into frailty, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, alignment, metastases, infection, cervical pathology, perioperative risk, ERAS, and AI-supported assessment — helping you make more confident, better-informed decisions in elderly patients.

By connecting biology, optimisation, surgical planning, and recovery in a single structured day, the course offers a more complete view of how age-related factors influence treatment strategy. A multidisciplinary perspective throughout reflects the realities of caring for older spine patients in practice.

Spinal Trauma

Date & time: Tuesday, 6 October 2026 | 11:00–18:00

Build confidence across the full trauma pathway, from first assessment to complex treatment decisions. The course covers classification, imaging, conservative treatment, cervical and thoracolumbar injuries, sacral trauma, osteoporotic fractures, rehabilitation, post-traumatic deformity, and difficult complication scenarios — with strong relevance for clinical practice throughout.

Bringing these areas together in one structured programme develops a more connected understanding of spinal trauma care. Additional discussion of neglected trauma, external immobilisation, hardware removal, and severe dura and nerve root injury adds further practical depth.
