SIO is excited to announce the 2025 MSK: Interventions in Musculuskeletal Master Class. Join us in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday, 4 October 2025. Registration details coming soon!

 

Learning Outcomes

  • Discuss high-risk fracture patterns, advantages of mechanical augmentation, new implants in spine augmentation, and potential complications and mitigation strategies of MSK interventions.
  • Discuss indications for radiofrequency ablation in the spine, indications for cryoablation in the spine, thermoprotective techniques of spine ablation.
  • Discuss common indications for percutaneous biopsy, different ablation techniques relevant to the bones and soft tissues, adjunctive block and neurolysis techniques.
  • Discuss indications and technical considerations for mechanical and traditional augmentation vs. vertebroplasty in the spine, and complications associated with all augmentation techniques.
  • Apply knowledge gained in hands-on lab setting.
