The Latino-American Spine Society (SILACO) and the Spanish Spine Society (GEER) have joined together this June to celebrate a combined meeting. Out of 80 oral presentations the award wining selected presentation went to the ESSG group for their study on Sagittal Plane restoration in Adult Scoliosis patients.
