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,

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.

Cities in Denmark do not have their own separate city codes, so for local calls you should include all the digits in the telephone number. From
outside Denmark, add 0045 to the local number.
Time Zone
Copenhagen is located in the Central European
Time Zone (CET) which is one hour ahead of
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Tipping
In general, service charges are included in the
bill. However, it is considered polite to round
up to the nearest 10 DKK in restaurants and for
travelling with taxis.
Tourist Offices
The city’s main tourist office is the Wonderful
Copenhagen Tourist Information center. It is
located at Vesterbrogade 4A, close to Central
Station and Tivoli Gardens.

Dial 112 in an emergency to request the police,
fire or ambulance service or refer to the staff at

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‘

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:

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:

desk to receive your login details
Log into an available computer and

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.

atmosphere. Theatres, museums, art galleries and musical entertainment are other attractions which
will make your stay in royal Copenhagen memorable.
No doubt that you are going to love royal Copenhagen with its friendly people and colourful atmosphere

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

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.

EUROSPINE 2015 Debates
There will be two debates about common, but hopefully stimulating topics with the
intention to stimulate thinking and discussions on areas of controversy and to explore
areas of consensus. The audience will be asked for their vote on the case management
before and after the presentations to see if they could be persuaded to change their
views as a result of the arguments presented.
10:30–11:15 Debate 1: Evidence-based practice: A way to reconcile science and
the practitioner’s and patient’s perspectives, or just a pain in the
neck?
Rachid Salmi, Bordeaux, France
Moderator: Finn B. Christensen, Aarhus, Denmark
Debate: Where do we go from here?
11:15–12:00
Debate 2: Traumatic central cord syndrome in patients without cervical
spine fracture should be managed with urgent decom pressive surgery
Moderator: Selçuk Palaoğlu, Ankara, Turkey
For surgery: Tim Pigott, Liverpool, UK
Against surgery: Bernhard Jeanneret, Basel, Switzerland

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.
Thursday
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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.
