Live At NASS 2024: Motion Preservation, Clinical Trials & Spine Surgery Innovations You Need to Know
Join hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf for a special live episode of The Spine Pod, recorded from the floor of the North American Spine Society (NASS) 2024 conference in Chicago. This episode explores the latest advancements in spine surgery, with conversation spanning the spectrum of motion preservation, navigation, robotics, and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). You’ll get to hear from an array of thought leaders across spine care, both industry experts and surgeons, including Pierce Nunley, MD, Louis Nel, MD, Choll Kim, MD, Avinash Patwardhan, PhD, Ted Bird, and William Lavelle, MD. Join us as we sit down to talk about the complexities of bringing new devices to market, the lessons learned from early motion preservation devices, and the future of patient care in this field.
In this episode you’ll learn about:
- How motion preservation technologies, including artificial discs, facet replacements, and lumbar total joint replacements, are becoming mainstream as treatment options.
- The advancement of enabling technologies, including navigation and robotics, and how they’re gaining interest across the industry.
- The importance of collaboration across surgeons, industry, and researchers in driving forward spine surgery.
- The evolution of MIS and endoscopic options and how they will integrate with motion preservation to provide enhanced treatment options.
- The importance of clinical trials and data monitoring in order to provide objective outcome metrics to create improvements in spine care.
- How more surgeons are opting for motion preserving options over fusion as a first-line treatment method for improving patients’ long-term outcomes.
From enabling technologies to novel implants, this discussion brings you all the latest discussions of innovations in the spine industry. We’ll hear from research experts that have 40+ years in the space, surgeons who have treated patients for more than 30 years, and industry experts that have been on the front lines of multiple product launches with the largest spine companies. Every guest on this episode has one central goal in common - to find better ways to treat leg and back pain and provide better and longer-lasting results for the patients they treat.
Tune in to this special episode to hear about cutting-edge technologies, how these innovations are being applied in spine care, and what surgeons are learning from the latest long-term data. This lively, real-time discussion offers listeners a unique view of the state of the spine industry in 2024.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
