The Olympic MIS system delivers a new level of intraoperative flexibility and efficiency by allowing surgeons to customize to their preferred workflow through the utilization of either a traditional jamshidi/guide wire technique, awl-tap wireless technique, or single-step wireless technique for the placement of MIS pedicle screws.
The system features an extensive offering of pedicle screw options, including iliac fixation, in either an extended tab (no assembly) or tower/screw (single step assembly) option. Designed to address even the most complex pathologies, Olympic MIS provides the versatility to accommodate multiple rod diameters in either titanium or cobalt chrome in pre-bent lordotic, straight, or pre-bent kyphotic options. The instrumentation further supports a streamlined and reproducible procedural sequence by providing up to 50mm of reduction, along with multiple options for compression or distraction, including the ability to span multiple levels simultaneously.

About MIS
The trend in spine surgery for many procedures has been moving toward minimally invasive approaches. These include spine surgery for lumbar fusion, deformity surgery, cervical surgery and sacroiliac joint fusion. The benefits of
minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) include decreased pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. However, there is a difficult learning curve for surgeons when mastering MIS procedures. Increasing familiarity with MIS techniques creates more options for surgeons treating spine conditions with the potential to decrease surgical complications. The goal of this conference is to update neurological and orthopedic surgeons, as well as allied health professionals on the latest advances in MIS surgical techniques.
