When founded in 1966, SRS had 35 members and has since grown to encompass more than 1,000 members in 46 countries. The group now provides the SRS Annual Meeting and International Meeting on Advanced Spine Techniques for professionals.
SRS is now committed to furthering the field of scoliosis surgery and funds independent research grants on spinal deformity and complications. Members also submit Morbidity & Mortality data each year and SRS recently began a multi-center adult spinal deformity study partnership with AOSpine International for the “Scoli-Risk” trial, analyzing complications during complex spinal deformity corrective surgery, according to the report.
The group is also focused on global outreach and has coordinated programs to help underserved populations in countries such as Africa and South America.
