Anna Iacocca delivered a short lecture and hands-on demonstration of spine anatomy, function, and scoliosis. Using anatomically correct spine models, students installed pedicle screws, bent fusion rods, and corrected a scoliotic deformity. Tejus Surendran gave a lab tour, showed our bio-robotic test frame in action, and discussed how we use it to study various musculoskeletal disorders.

Thank you to The Perry Initiative and Medtronic for sponsoring some of the materials and tools used in this event.
