54th Annual Meeting & 31st Instructional Course
CSRS hosts two back-to-back meetings at the end of each year. The meetings are at The Austin Marriott Downtown, Texas.

The CSRS 31st Instructional Course kicks off Wednesday morning, December 2 and runs as an all-day program. Each session will build on foundational principles, treatment, up to controversies and new developments on the topic. The goal of the Instructional Course is to lay a foundation for the advanced topics that will be discussed during the Annual Meeting with an emphasis on case presentations and discussion. The continued building and progression of each session ensures that the Instructional Course is valuable to both the surgeon in training and the field expert.
The CSRS 54th Annual Meeting gathers approximately 600 leading orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians, residents, fellows, allied health, medical students, engineers and corporate personnel. The meeting promotes high quality meaningful research, discussion, and exchange of ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of cervical spine injury and disease.
Scientific Meeting Objectives:
- Review appropriate anatomy of the cervical spine.
- Compare the methods for diagnosis of neck disorders.
- Evaluate operative and non-operative treatment options for cervical spine disorders.
