ORLANDO - Each year, conference organizers reaffirm WCEC's position as the premier forum for research in workers' compensation and workplace safety/health issues with unsurpassed educational content and interactive learning opportunities.
In the passing years, attendees have also come to expect a thrilling variation of hands-on learning in the form of a live surgery demonstration, or two—as was the case in 2010 when doctors from the Orlando Orthopaedic Center performed a carpal tunnel release and an arthroscopic meniscus repair.
The unique viewing experience returned in 2011 with a minimally invasive lumbar fusion procedure called transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF). As Dr. G. Grady McBride, a board-certified spine surgeon, performed the surgery this morning at an offsite facility, Dr. Steven Weber acted as moderator in a conference ballroom filled with WCEC attendees.
