This webinar will provide an integrated overview of current and emerging strategies for the management of low back pain. We will review basivertebral nerve ablation, including its development, outcomes evidence, and candidate selection. Additionally, we’ll compare spinal fusion with motion-preserving spine surgery, examining long-term consequences, current indications for fusion, and the latest motion-preserving options and their most effective clinical use cases.

Registration for all practitioners - free.

3. Describe motion-preserving spine surgery options and the clinical scenarios in which they are feasible.
4. Apply evidence-based best practices to determine when motion-preserving approaches are not optimal and when spinal fusion should be considered.
