LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A
leader in spine medicine for nearly three decades, Dr. Todd H. Lanman of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery
will serve as a faculty instructor for a Zoom-based online course
on motion preservation, slated for October
2-3, 2020.
Dubbed the 2nd Annual Advances in Motion Preservation, and
presented by the Seattle Science Foundation, this educational
course is designed specifically for spine surgeons.
Some of the key topics to be covered during the course will
include motion preservation and expanded indications for artificial
cervical disc replacement. It will also offer extensive assessments
of current and emerging trends in the science of spinal surgery as
it relates to preserving spinal mobility.
Through the use of cadaveric and instructional didactics,
participants will be taught of the finest evidence-based practices
in the field, touching on arthroplasty, motion-preserving
stabilization, laminoplasty and endoscopic techniques. They will
also explore technological advances in the field of motion
preservation spinal surgeries. Further, intriguing case discussions
will be held regarding the application of virtual and augmented
reality in assisting with spinal surgery.
Dr. Lanman, a global innovator often at the forefront of medical
advances in the worlds of spinal medicine and artificial disc
replacement, has been focused on helping his patients preserve
motion and mobility through artificial disc replacement advances.
He is also a physician who integrates into his own life what he
practices and teaches, with four artificial disc replacement
devices in his own body, in the lumbar and cervical spines.
Dr. Lanman has served as principal investigator on a number of
FDA-endorsed clinical trials in the context of motion-preserving
devices, including the Prestige LP and M6-C. In 2016, he became the
first U.S. surgeon to perform Restorative Motion Surgery, an
off-label indication involving the replacement of patients' fusions
with artificial disc devices, restoring near or total mobility and
motion. He is currently presiding over two newly opened
FDA-endorsed clinical trials for the Synergy and prodisc SK and
Vivo, as principal investigator.
In July, Dr. Lanman was named one of the Top Doctors of 2020 by
Los Angeles Magazine. He was honored with this accolade in view of
his work in the advancement of spinal care, particularly in the
field of artificial disc replacement. He has also been named a top
doctor in the Los Angeles Times, The
Hollywood Reporter, and Hemispheres in recent years, and honored as
a 'Leader in Health Care' by the Los Angeles Business Journal. He
continues to serve as an associate professor at UCLA for the last two decades, and has published
numerous peer-reviewed articles and has authored book chapters. He
is a frequent medical educator and expert contributor in the media.
His Beverly Hills-based practice
is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center's Institute for
Spinal Disorders and the UCLA Medical Center.
