SAS Committee Descriptions and Assignments | | Welcome!The SAS was organized to provide a venue on the benefits of non-fusion technology in providing for spinal stabilization as a consequence of trauma, deformities, as well as degenerative diseases of the spine. Spine Arthroplasty is seen as the next evolutionary step to provide restoration of the original structure and in course, restoration of pain-free “natural” mobility of the spine. The purpose of the society is to educate and exchange information on Spine Arthroplasty technology. Join SAS Now! >

| What's New? SAS09: Consolidating the Revolution
Orthopedics This Week - May 5, 2009 On April 28, outgoing SAS president Karin Büttner-Janz, M.D., Ph.D. turned over a spine society that has grown in size, identity and global scope to incoming president Chun-Kun Park, M.D. Büttner-Janz also hands off the SAS presidency to Park at a time of great challenge and opportunity for spine surgeons. Economic pressures continue to mount and more evidence of clinical and cost-effectiveness is being demanded by public and private payers. With a new set of bylaws (crafted with the contributed wisdom of the spine industry's Ben Franklin, Charlie Ray, M.D.), the Spine Arthroplasty Society is no more and will forever be known as SAS: The International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery. This renewed focus on all spinal medicine moves the organization through its adolescence into early adulthood. The organization also broadened its global reach in 2009 as it established new Society chapters in China, India, the Middle East, and Korea. Another sign of SAS’ growing maturity in the last year was its entry into the mainstream of medical politics by joining the American Medical Association's House of Delegates.
