The State of MIS: Real Cases and Pearls From Surgeons Doing It Now
Wednesday, November 4 · 8:00 PM Central
9:00 PM Eastern · 7:00 PM Mountain · 6:00 PM Pacific · Online on Zoom · Free
Most MIS education shows you the procedure.
Very little of it shows you how surgeons actually decide. When to fixate and when not to. Why the same surgery gives two surgeons two different outcomes. What it really takes to move cases out of the hospital OR and into your own office.
That is what this evening is about.
I'll open with a short state of the union on MIS: where it stands right now, what is working, and where I see surgeons get stuck. Then I hand it over to surgeons who are doing this work every week. Real cases. The pearls they wish they had known sooner. What they got wrong along the way. Then your questions, live.
Real cases. Real decisions. Nothing you can't use on Monday.
What we'll cover
The state of MIS. Where the field is now and where surgeons stall
Same surgery, different outcomes. What actually separates the two
The first-ray question. Fixate or not, and how experienced MIS surgeons decide
From the OR to your office. What changes when you bring procedures in-house
Guided practice versus watching. What hands-on training gave our panel that videos did not
