Toward better balance.

Abstract:

:The AANS was founded in 1931 as an educational and scientific organization whose principal purpose was to foster optimum neurosurgical care. Because socioeconomic and political pressures on medicine generally and neurosurgery specifically have escalated in recent years, the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) has been required to respond effectively to matters beyond its traditional role. However, the AANS has lacked an effective, focused policymaking process to deal with socioeconomic concerns despite existing expertise within the specialty. The AANS now needs to develop a comprehensive socioeconomic effort that is consistent with its more traditional educational and scientific activities. A Task Force on Governance has been appointed to address how the Association's governance structure can reflect all the needs of our specialty in times of economic uncertainty and health care reform.

  • Sacral fixation using iliac instrumentation and a variable-angle screw device. Technical note.

    abstract::Secure fixation of the sacrum is technically challenging. The bone of the dorsal sacral surface is often thin, making hook fixation tenuous. The use of bone screws in the sacral pedicles has gained popularity, but rigidity is often not achieved and screw pullout is common. Solid constructs have been achieved using ang...
