The Spine Surgery Saw Bone Workshop is an in-person training activity organised by the Orthopedic Surgery Department at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is scheduled for 26 November 2026, from 07:30 to 12:00, at the Education and Training Center. The official poster and the native session record identify this training location within the hospital’s Riyadh Takhassusi setting.
The organiser describes a hands-on session in which trainees practise spine procedures on synthetic bone models. This makes the workshop a practical procedural learning activity rather than a general scientific congress. Its announced scope combines a review of relevant anatomy with the opportunity to rehearse instrumentation techniques on saw-bone models. No patient surgery or additional clinical procedure is implied by this description.
Published educational content begins with a review of spine anatomy from the occipital condyles to the pelvis and an understanding of the rotational three-dimensional deformity associated with scoliosis. The hands-on scope includes occipital plates and upper cervical spine screws, lateral mass screws in the subaxial spine and thoracolumbar pedicle-screw insertion. Sacral instrumentation, S2AI screw insertion and correction manoeuvres in scoliosis are also included in the official outline.
These topics are recorded as the workshop’s published content, not as separately timed sessions. The native programme contains one workshop block from 07:30 to 12:00. An individual instructor roster, professional biographies, detailed instructional timetable and programme PDF were not verified, and placeholder speaker entries are not treated as real faculty. The activity is especially relevant to the orthopedic-surgery trainees identified by the organiser’s specialty classification.
Attendance is explicitly free and the official page provides registration for this exact dated workshop. Registration is published as closing on 25 November 2026. Any capacity or acceptance requirements should be confirmed with the organiser rather than inferred from changing seat counters. No call for abstracts or independently confirmed commercial sponsoring companies was found.
The organiser explicitly states “No CME Hours.” No SCFHS credits or accreditation badge are therefore assigned, even though professional accreditation branding appears on the poster. The official poster is selected as the cover, with clear landing, educational-overview and programme captures as supporting images. The listing preserves the distinction between practical skills training and verified credit-bearing education.
