Verona, Italy — A scientific seminar and cadaver workshop held at the ICLO Teaching and Research Center in Verona brought together leading surgeons and medical professionals from across Europe. The event focused on advanced vertebral augmentation techniques, with hands-on training using Tripod-Fix, an innovative spinal implant system designed for treating vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Dr. Stefano Marcia delivered the training, guiding participants through the latest advancements in vertebral augmentation and the benefits of Tripod-Fix.
The seminar provided participants with an in-depth understanding of the latest advancements in vertebral augmentation, while the cadaver workshop allowed them to gain practical experience using Tripod-Fix in real-life scenarios. Surgeons from various countries participated, enhancing their skills in performing precise, effective procedures for restoring vertebral body height and correcting spinal fractures.
Tripod-Fix’s unique, controlled, three-dimensional expansion mechanism was a central focus of the event, offering attendees valuable insights into how this technology improves precision, reduces risks such as cement leakage, and ensures long-term spinal stability.
Unlike traditional augmentation methods like Kyphoplasty Balloon, which are instruments that rely on inflation to restore vertebral height, Tripod-Fix, as an implant, stays in the vertebral body for the lifetime of the patient, offering a more controlled expansion that directly addresses the vertebral body’s structural support with long-lasting results.
The hands-on nature of the workshop allowed for detailed demonstrations of Tripod-Fix’s ease of use and its significant impact on procedural outcomes. Surgeons were able to see firsthand how the system provides reliable, long-term support to the vertebral body, offering a distinct advantage over traditional methods like Kyphoplasty.
This seminar and workshop underscored the importance of collaboration and continuous education in advancing spinal care. The event was a valuable opportunity for medical professionals to exchange knowledge and further recognize Tripod-Fix’s transformative role in vertebral fracture treatment.
