Welcome Messages Welcome Message from the Local Hosts Dear colleagues, Dear ladies and gentlemen, The congress of the Spine Society of Europe, EUROSPINE, is the most important platform for exchanging the latest research results and innovations in the prevention and treatment of spinal disorders. The aim is to combine existing knowledge with the emerging technology and to develop and implement concepts – for the benefit of patients across Europe. Continuing this successful path together with your support is the formulated wish of EUROSPINE 2015 from 2–4 September, 2015 in Copenhagen. This year, we are planning the official EUROSPINE 2015 evening as a large gathering for the entire spine community at the Copenhagen Opera House on the harborside in downtown Copenhagen – in other words, we would like to welcome scientists, physicians and industry representatives equally to this evening. An impressive view and culinary pleasures promise a special night – please support this with your participation! Throughout the EUROSPINE 2015, we will provide you with an open atmosphere where it will be possible to network with experts within the spine field. We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen where we hope you will join our discussion on how to improve our daily practices and the lives of spine patients. Kind regards,
Finn Bjarke Christensen, MD Institute of Clinical Medicine University Hospital of Aarhus Aarhus, Denmark

Welcome Message from the President 2015 Dear friends, colleagues and spine specialists, 20 years! It will be the twentieth anniversary of the EUROSPINE congress in 2015, Copenhagen. EUROSPINE was the name used at the first conjoined meeting before the merging of two spine societies, European Spinal Deformity Society and European Spine Society. Since then the society has grown tremendously and achieved many successful activities. It is my great honour and pride to welcome you to EUROSPINE, the Spine Society of Europe, at its annual scientific meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark to be held from 2–4 September, 2015. The congress will include pre-meeting instructional courses, blindly selected best abstracts, debates, lunch symposia, keynote lecture and E-posters. The EUROSPINE programme committee worked very hard to achieve and surpass the academic standards that have been improved over the last 20 years. We aim to offer an open academic forum that will stimulate discussions on the latest scientific developments on prevention and treatment of spinal disorders. I am sure that you will find EUROSPINE lunch symposia topics such as: ‘’Adult deformity in the cervical spine. Treatment concepts’’, ‘’Neuromuscular and early onset scoliosis. Are new techniques better?’’, ‘’Anterior approach is back to stay?’’, ‘’Adjacent Segment Disease – Facts and Myths’’, ‘’The raise and fall of new technologies’’ quite interesting and appealing. ‘’Spinal oncology’’ and ‘’Aging spine’’ are the topics to be covered in pre-meeting courses. I would encourage you to participate to these high level state of the art courses. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet and interact with our partners in the Spine Industry through exhibits and lunch industry workshops. Our local hosts Finn Christensen and Martin Gehrchen have been working hard to assure the high quality and integrity already set in our flagship annual meeting. On behalf of the local hosts and the EUROSPINE society, I look forward to welcoming you to our annual meeting in Copenhagen 2–4 September, 2015. I strongly encourage you to become a member of the society to reap the many benefits of membership. You can become part of the future of leading edge knowledge and skills within the society.

Guidelines for Speakers & Chairs Speakers’ Preview Center Ground floor, Hall A – see onsite signage as well as the floorplan on page 17. Opening hours: Tuesday, 1 September: 08:00–18:30 Wednesday, 2 September: 07:30–17:00 Thursday, 3 September: 07:30–17:00 Friday, 4 September: 07:30–15:30 Please note that only digital material will be accepted for oral presentations. Presentation file(s) must be uploaded at least 90 minutes prior to the beginning of the corresponding session. In case of early morning sessions, please upload your presentation the day before. Professional staff will be happy to assist you in case of any technical problems. The preview technicians will check the presentation for compatibility and will load it on to the congress network. The preview technicians will advise the speakers on the use of the presentation equipment and AV set-up in the lecture halls. Visiting the speakers‘ preview center will ensure that your presentation will run as smoothly as possible. We kindly ask for your understanding that due to space and time limitation at the speakers‘ preview center presentations should be prepared and edited before submission. Thank you for bringing your presentations in a ready-toupload format! Please note that the use of own notebooks and presentation equipment is not allowed.
There are two options to deliver your presentation material: 1. Upload your presentation prior to the meeting: Speakers have the opportunity to upload their presentations prior to the meeting until 31 August 2015, 16:00 CET+1. 2. Deliver your presentation onsite: Speakers are requested to hand in their presentations to the speakers‘ preview center staff not later than 90 minutes before the beginning of their session, please check in even if they have already uploaded their presentation prior to the meeting. In case of early morning sessions, please upload your presentation the day before. Presentation upload: Please read the Guidelines and Technical Specifications below carefully! Onsite presentation upload procedure: Check in at the preview center welcome desk to receive your login details Log into an available computer and upload your presentation Presentations can be checked in pre senter mode and edited onsite General Info Two chairpersons will be allocated to each session responsible for introducing the speakers, controlling the timing of the sessions and moderating the discussion. All lecture halls are set up in theatre style and are equipped with a lectern, microphones, projector, screen, laser pointer and a presentation laptop. Timing of Session In order to keep the sessions running to schedule and allow questions from the audience it is very important to keep the presentations within the allotted time: Your slides will fade automatically after the allotted time, there is a stopwatch running for your control.
23
In this respect we strongly recommend that speakers ensure that their presentation does not exceed the allotted time as we expect the chairperson to strictly adhere to the timetable. Stopping a speaker from completing a presentation is very embarrassing for all concerned and hopefully will not be necessary if everyone respects this requirement. Regular presentation: 5 minutes (plus discussion/change 3 min.) QuickFire presentation: 3 minutes (plus discussion/change 2 min.) Conflict of Interest EUROSPINE is committed to avoid potential conflicts of interest: Any financial relationship between the speaker/chairperson and a company manufacturing or distributing a product must be disclosed and openly shared. Conflicts of interest need to be disclosed for each author on the second slide. Presentations which do not follow this prerequisite cannot be shown. During the presentation/discussion open publicity or unfair and/or unsupported information for products/organisations/business should be avoided. Commercial logos or photographs should not be used (other than in the designated industry workshops). Audio-visual Requirements for Speakers EUROSPINE 2015 requires the speakers to adapt their audio-visual material to the technical equipment provided at the congress venue to ensure a smooth running of all sessions. Technical and Formal Specifications 1. Each lecture hall will be equipped with an i7 processor presentation laptop running Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010, which leaves you in control of moving your slides back and forth. 2. Note: The preview center and network to the lecture hall support PowerPoint presenta tions version Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft office 2010 only.
24
3. To safeguard presentation time and quality, we hope you understand that the use of your own laptop will not be possible. All presentations need to be handed in at the speakers‘ preview center at least 90 minutes prior to the respective session. 4. The only presentation software supported will be Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 for Windows. If you are using other software like Prezi or similar, please contact the Organising Secretariat at least two weeks prior to the event. 5. Please note that only single projection will be available. 6. If you wish to show web pages use screen shots within your PowerPoint presentation. Do not include live links to the Internet into your presentation. 7. Electronic presentations for regular sessions will be projected on screens using a PIP system. Hints for Preparation 1. Do not cover too much ground. Leave the fine details for publication and discuss only the major points of your work, supported by the conclusions drawn from your data. Remember you are trying to communicate with the audience in a limited time. A rushed presentation is of no use to the audience or to your reputation. 2. Write out your presentation and practice it with a critic. This may help you to organise your material. 3. Practice and edit your presentation until you can deliver it clearly and understandably within the time allotted to you. If you exceed the allotted time, the session moderator may have to terminate your presentation. 4. Simplify – simplify – simplify: Keep data on slides simple. If there is an abundance of data, divide it into several slides. Simplify material on the slide to illustrate a single point or idea. The content of a slide should be comprehen sible in 20 seconds.

5. Limit your slides to not more than two for each minute of your presentation. Think of people in the rear of the meeting room and use large, legible letters. A message slide should have no more than 7 lines with 7 words or less per line. Spaces between lines should be at least the height of a capital letter. Use only light colours such as white yellow, light orange, light green or light blue on a dark background, such as dark blue or black (white on black background is better than black on white). Remember that almost 20% of the population is unable to see red letters. 6. Be sure the information on the slides of your radiographs is well presented – enlargements of the significant areas and arrows are often helpful. 7. Do not overuse fancy animations available in PowerPoint. 8. Avoid any sexist jokes, comments and slides. 9. Patient names should not appear on the slides. This would be a violation of patient confidentiality.
Saving your presentation/Font for your presentation 1. To avoid any compatibility problems, please do not use special characters (e. g. ε, etc.) to name your presentation or video files. 2. When saving your presentation, please use the following format: Surname_Forename_NN.ppt (replace the “NN” with is the name or number of the presentation as it appears in the final programme) 3. When choosing fonts for your presentation, please ensure that they are supported by Microsoft Office. If a non-standard font is used within a presentation, this will result in a substitute font being inserted by Power Point. 4. There is no size limit for presentations up loaded onsite at the speakers‘ preview center. However, we still recommend kee ping the size as small as possible.
Useful information for Keynote/Macintosh users: 1. Apple Macintosh/Keynote users should contact the Organising Secretariat prior to the event. 2. If you have already prepared your presentation in Keynote on your Macintosh you are kindly asked to convert it to PowerPoint prior to the congress. 3. In case you cannot convert your keynote presentation as requested, professional staff at the speakers‘ preview center will be happy to help you. To give them enough time, please hand in your presentation at the speakers‘ preview center at least 4 to 5 hours prior to your presentation.

Travel to Copenhagen
By Plane
Copenhagen Airport – Københavns Lufthavn, Kastrup (CPH) is the major airport for both cities Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden. Around 2 million passengers – both on international and domestic flights – pass Kastrup every year. Apart from the largest Scandinavian airline SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), almost all the worlds major airlines are represented here. The airport is located in Amager, south of the city center and only few minutes drive from the Öresund Bridge. The trip by Metro (subway) from the city center takes 14 minutes. By Car Driving from Sweden You have a few options depending on from where in Sweden you are driving. If you are close to Malmö, the Öresund bridge is your best choice. This fixed link connecting Sweden and Denmark is one of the largest constructions, of its kind, in the world. It is a combination of a bridge, an artificially made island, Peberholmen, and a tunnel (16 km; 10 miles). It is a 30 minutes drive from city to city. From Helsingborg there are ferries running 24 hours a day to Helsingør (Elsinore). The crossing takes 20 minutes and Copenhagen is within less than an hour drive. Driving from Germany Copenhagen is just next door to Germany. You have a couple of options getting here by car; driving via Jutland and then to cross the Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsbroen). The toll (2009) is 215 DKK for one ride with a car 3–6 metres long, and 375 DKK for a weekend ticket. From the border, there will be approximately a 3 hour drive to the
38
capital. The other options are to take the ferry from Puttgarden to Rødby, or from Rostock to Gedser. Once in Denmark, you have a good hour drive to the capital. By Train Hovedbanegården – the Central Station Grand Central Station, Hovedbanegården, was built in 1911. It was rebuilt and extended with a modern shopping center in 1994 and is now back to its grandeur from the last century, welcoming more than 80,000 people every day, 365 days a year. You can reach Copenhagen by direct trains from all major cities in Europe. More than 1,000 trains depart every day to international, national, regional and local destinations. By Boat Arrival to Copenhagen harbour To Copenhagen, you have daily direct ferries from Norway (Oslo, by DFDS Seaways) and Poland (Swinoujscie, by Unity Line). These ferries arrive to Søndre Frihavn. If you are travelling from the UK, there is a daily ferry, operated by DFDS Seaways from Harwich to Esbjerg, 200 km west of Copenhagen. From Rostock and Puttgarden in Germany, you have daily connections operated by Scandlines to Gedser and Rödby, about 150 km from Copenhagen. Crossing time Puttgarden – Rödby is 45 min, Rostock– Gedser: 2 hours. From Sweden, there is the frequent ferry connection Helsingborg– Elsinore (Helsingør). Those who will take a train afterwards, will travel from there for less than an hour, by car on the European route E55 the journey takes approximately half an hour.

EUROSPINE Medal Lecture 2015
© Jon.dk
Love your job, or die trying In the health care industry it’s always been about one thing: healthy and happy patients. For health professionals in a growing part of the world, however, things seem to have taken a wrong turn along the way. For The System, it now seems more urgent to document correct procedure than ensure maximum patient satisfaction, a fact that leaves many employees disheartened. This speaker argues that this will change. Jon Kjær Nielsen holds a Master of Science, and has spent a decade traveling and lecturing on the benefits of an increased focus on people and happiness in the workplace. He will show us nuggets from the research into happiness, like the fact that not only do happy doctors become the target of malpractice lawsuits less frequent, they are also 19% faster at making an accurate diagnosis.
We’re not there yet, though, also evident in Denmark’s struggling public health sector, but the signs are here. Meanwhile, it falls on the shoulders of each of us to create the work environment that best suits our personal preferences. Jon will provide us with clear guideposts for this mission. For as he puts it: “Besides your personal relationships, work is the single most important factor in determining your personal level of happiness in life, and so there’s really no way around it: Love your job, or die trying”. Jon is 38 years old and currently traveling the world as a speaker and author. He has published three books in Denmark, all on happiness at work, one of which at the time of this writing is being translated into English and German. Find him at HappyWays.com and Jon.dk.
As Jon puts it: “With a system set on measuring everything in the name of productivity, the system is bound to realise, that measuring less actually increases productivity”. Coming from Denmark, again and again labeled the happiest country in the world, Jon will share how loving your job as a health professional is key to both personal flourishing and better results at work, a fact that The System is slowly realising.

Research and Travel Grants Research Grants The EUROSPINE Task Force Research (TFR) invites every year applications for project funding. The review procedure is proven, trustworthy, transparent and free from conflicts of interest. The available research funds are allocated each year by the EUROSPINE Executive Committee and ratified by the General Assembly. Since the start in 2011, TFR could allocate close to 550.000 EUR. An independent survey was performed in 2014 of former recipients 2011–2013. There was a 100% response rate: We could fund projects in 10 countries, with about 40% having women as principal investigators. At the time of the survey 11 abstracts had been accepted by the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine, EUROSPINE, SpineWeek, Scoliosis Research Society, and National Spine Societies (UK, CH). Several of the EUROSPINE TFR grant recipients had received additional, larger funding from other institutions. Three articles had been accepted in European Spine Journal, British Medical Journal, and Spine, and an additional 6 articles were submitted in 2014 to peer-reviewed journals. All the details can be seen at the society’s website. Next applications can be submitted before 31 January, 2016. The submission guidelines are here: www.eurospine.org/research Educational Grants We invite possible sponsors to contact us and submit proposals to
[email protected]. We are open to discuss your projects and ideas, please pass by the EUROSPINE booth in the Center Hall.

Various studies say that spinal implants are often not placed in the optimal position. So how is it possible to avoid misplacements in critical areas like cervical and thoracolumbar spine? Complete 3D information in CT-like quality allows surgeons to control the clinical outcome of their intervention intraoperatively and check the outcome of their surgical strategy. There is no need to wait for results of a postoperative CT-scan. This helps to avoid unnecessary revisions and provides a great opportunity to raise efficiency in clinical workflows.

Minimally Invasive Spine surgery is becoming increasingly popular due to vast increases in technology, quality of results, surgeons experiences and patient demands. With such a changing environment many questions and discussions arise over the use of minimally invasive techniques in all types of spinal surgery. The Medtronic minimally invasive workshop gives audience members the opportunity to listen and interact with colleagues who are using these techniques in their daily practice. From trauma and tumour cases to degenerative cases and even restoring sagittal alignment. Through interactive case discussions and information on the latest technology, the lunch workshop will give you new insights into treating your patients with minimally invasive techniques.

Wednesday
It’s a pleasure to invite you to this AOSpine symposium targeting one of the most discussed surgical techniques of our time. We have put together an intriguing program to highlight some of the more difficult aspects of performing osteotomies in the whole spine and the indications. Doing osteotomies is challenging and it is also debatable when osteotomies should be chosen as a solution for the specific patient. We will aim through this symposium to highlight both technically the issues and the indications by using examples that can help with a better understanding in choosing osteotomy or not in the selection process when evaluating patients. We look forward to seeing you and creating a fruitful interactive session. This symposium emphasizes on the technical challenges performing the osteotomies in the whole spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) and the consideration on choosing an osteotomy solution or not evaluating the associated problems.

Chairs: Menno Iprenburg, Veenhuizen, The Netherlands; Albert Telfeian, Rhode Island, US; Wolfgang Ries, Karlsruhe, Germany (joimax® Group) Initially minimally invasive endoscopic spinal surgery was mostly associated with treating herniated discs in the lumbar spine. In the past years the range of indications expanded rapidly globally and it is now possible to treat cervical disc herniations and spinal stenosis. Spinal stabilization can now also be achieved with a minimally invasive endoscopic assisted approach.

EIT Emerging Implant Technologies GmbH Room: B4 M9/10 Is accepting a failure rate in spinal fusion useful when it is not necessary? The result of a fusion operation is subject to multifactorial influences, including the choice of cage material and design. PEEK is becoming more obsolete as an implant material due to its inflammatory action and fibrotic implant bone interface. Porous titanium scaffolds with specific dimensions proved to have a vast osseointegration and fusion capacity. The EIT Cellular Titanium® structure is integrated in a line of cervical and lumbar cage designs to achieve good sagittal alignment and anatomical restoration. Furthermore, additive manufacturing enables the production of patient specific implants for anatomically challenging cases. All these features will be covered in 4 presentations, being: Can 3-D printed implants change the medical device industry? H.

MEDICREA International SA Room: B3 M3/4 Personalized Spine Surgery: Concept & Achievement Patient-specific sagittal alignment has demonstrated to be an independent predictor of outcomes all around the field of spinal pathology. Research continues to provide substantial data to improve our knowledge on this aspect of spinal pathology. However, there are perceived limitations in applying this routinely in clinical practice. Recent technological advances in software and implant design and manufacture are offering substantial improvements in workflow for clinicians. The focus of this workshop will be on reviewing the clinical relevance of sagittal plane analysis, the tools facilitating its incorporation into clinical practice, and early outcomes of patients treated with new personalized implants in the setting of spinal deformity. Biomechanical and Clinical impact of Sagittal plane malalignment Virginie Lafage, New York, US Patient specific rods: From the philosophy to the surgery Cedric Barrey, Lyon, France Clinical case presentations and experiences from an American and a French surgeon Vincent Fière, Lyon, France, Peter Passias, Westbury, US Richard Wolf GmbH Room: B3 M5 15 years of full-endoscopic operations: From experiment to standard Chair: Sebastian Ruetten, Herne, Germany Faculty: Sebastian Ruetten, Martin Komp, Herne, Germany If conservative methods fail in the therapy of spinal disc herniations and spinal canal stenosis, conditions involving exacerbated pain or neurological deficits may require an operation to be performed. Despite good results from conventional operations, trauma may cause consecutive problems to occur. It is therefore important to continuously optimize these procedures. The aim in this process of continuous improvement is to minimize the trauma induced by the operation and negative long-term effects while observing existing quality standards. Current research results and technical innovations must be assessed critically in order to permit the best treatment strategies. Full-endoscopic techniques are adequate, safe supplements and alternatives as standard approaches to conventional procedures within the overall spectrum of spinal surgery. This symposium presents a comprehensive concept of full-endoscopic techniques in operations of spinal disc herniations and spinal stenosis with reference to 15 years of experience.

Faculty: John Kenneth Burkus, Columbus, US; Pat Kiely, Dublin, Ireland; KaiMichael Scheufler, Kempen, Germany S pinal degenerative disease is one of the main causes of pain and there is a wide consensus on the need of treating patients from a biological and a mechanical point of view to achieve optimal results. Nowadays, several options are available to improve the new bone quality and the fusion process. The symposium will address this topic evaluating the role of sagittal alignment restoration and proper biological and mechanical environment through lumbar interbody fusion. Latest technologies and clinical results will be presented, together with an interactive case discussion session where the participants can benefit of the expertise of the faculties and share their experience and concerns when treating degenerative patients.

Wednesday Thursday
Clinical publications have identified the SI joint as a pain generator in 15% to 30% of low back pain patients. In addition, the prevalence of SI joint pain in post-lumbar fusion, so called “failed back surgery” patients, has been shown to be up to 43%. SI joint fusion can relieve pain and improve quality of life in patients who have failed nonoperative care. The iFuse Implant System was developed as a minimally invasive surgical option for patients who have failed non-surgical options. Over the last several years more than 16,000 procedures have been performed and over 900 surgeons have been trained to provide this option for their patients. There are nineteen peer-reviewed studies published on MIS SI joint fusion with the iFuse Implant System, including prospective and retrospective studies, multicenter and single center studies, U.S. studies as well as Europe an studies, with follow up ranging from six months to five years, all showing similar positive outcomes. In particular, the prospective randomised multi-centric study recently published in the International Journal of Spine Surgery (IJSS), awarded the Leon L. Wiltse Award for Best Overall Paper by the ISASS meeting program committee at the last ISASS meeting in San Diego on April 2015, showed that the iFuse Implant System provided superior outcomes for SI joint pain, disability and quality of life vs. non-surgical management in patients with SI joint dysfunction due to degenerative sacroiliitis or SI joint disruptions.

Treating challenging deformity patients presenting comorbidities is becoming more and more common in surgeons practice. This symposium is primarily designed to give surgeons experienced in the treatment of adult deformity the opportunity to discuss the difficulties linked to treating patients with Parkinson’s disease, obesity or frail bone with a group of experts. Each of the covered topics will include a review of the science, clinical studies and will be illustrated by patient cases. The focus given to these specific patient populations will provide the audience with clear and detailed take home messages. The last part of the program aims to be a discussion forum allowing participants to share their own experience or seek feedback from their peers.
