Strict membership criteria ensure that the individual SRS Fellows are dedicated to the highest standards of care for adult and pediatric spinal deformities, utilizing both non-operative and operative techniques.
Also, because the IMAST meeting does not require a minimum two-year post-operative patient follow-up for submitted research, the results of more recent surgical techniques can be presented for education and discussion.
[3] Furthermore, as an organization dedicated to the study and treatment of spinal deformity, the SRS periodically releases position statements and holds symposia on various topics of interest, such as bracing,[6] intraoperative neuromonitoring,[7][8] and school scoliosis screening.
[9] In the last fourteen years, SRS, in conjunction with OREF and the Cotrel Foundation, have provided more than $2.6 million for spinal deformity research projects.
The "Find a Specialist" section offers patients access to an opted-in list of members of the Scoliosis Research Society, as well as their practice locations, contact information, and areas of expertise.
