Join Drs. Zeeshan Sardar and Lawrence Lenke as they host Drs. Rajiv Sethi and Ben Elder for an in-depth, case-based discussion on Deformity Surgery in Osteoporotic Patients. This session will focus on one of the most challenging intersections in adult spinal deformity surgery: achieving durable correction in patients with poor bone quality, high mechanical failure risk, and limited physiologic reserve.

Key discussion points will include:

• Bone Health Optimization Before Surgery
• Fixation Strategies in Poor Bone
• Junctional Failure Prevention
• Alignment Goals in the Elderly Osteoporotic Patient
• Revision Surgery After Failure

This interactive webinar will highlight practical surgical planning pearls, fixation techniques, and complication-avoidance strategies for deformity correction in osteoporotic patients.
