ISASS 2021

Join us at ISASS21

Over the years, ISASS has met challenges to its mission, the biggest of which was evolving from a handful of members into the force it is today of more than one thousand-strong. Bringing the best of breed in terms of surgeons, technologies, innovators and management together, ISASS grew and prospered by evolving the scope of its initial disc replacement focus to include the biology behind disc degeneration. “Mechanical solutions are good solutions, but we need to move to a biological solution,” says Jean-Charles LeHuec, MD, PhD, and past ISASS President. “In 2011 ISASS changed its name to include these new developments. This is the new road for the society.”

With the name modification adopted in 2009, the formerly titled Spine Arthroplasty Society was changed to ISASS – The Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery and in 2011 the membership will vote to officially change the name of the Society to ISASS – The International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery. This evolution allows ISASS to continue to morph over time as new science is uncovered and new innovations are accepted. The change positions ISASS to avoid the complexities of being tied to one solution. “We can’t fix ourselves to one device or concept, because it may not always work,” says current ISASS President, Steven Garfin, MD, a supporter of the recent name change.

We are excited to bring fresh energy to the ISASS21 Annual Conference, despite the challenges of COVID-19. We especially want to ensure that ISASS21 represents all the regions of the world with top quality scientific papers.
