Next week I'll be headed to Austin, Tx for the 22nd annual NASS meeting. See the final program here. http://www.spine.org/Documents/AM07_final_program.pdf

These meetings are non-stop... wall to wall spine. This is the biggest spine congress in the world and most of the major players will be there. New technologies will be presented... as will new data on existing technologies. Latest follow-up on recently approved devices... sneak peaks at prototypes... marketing spin masquerading as science will be everywhere.

I've tried blogging these events in the past... with better success each time. I'll do even more for NASS than I have in the past... Starting Tuesday... check the GPN site for updates.

If you are interested in specifics... let me know and I'll try to get the info you need... post questions here and I'll do my best.

Mark:
Any information about whether Medtronic has applied for and been granted continued access for the Prestige LP would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Mark,

I can't wait to hear what is to come in the future. Innovation is a major key to overcoming this and other diseases.

I don't get to hang out on the web site for long - but I do check in frequently.

I hope that they will also showcase some new tissue regeneration technologies.....

Internet down in my room so I can't update the blog now... much to write about today, including disc transplant paper.

I neglected to post a link to the blog

Awk, it seems that one level must be fused.
