Dear Guest

It is with immense joy that we welcome you to the 50th Anniversary of the International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS) and the extraordinary Congress here in Milan, Italy. This is a moment of great significance, where we celebrate half a century of our society's commitment to advancing research and innovation in the field of the lumbar spine.

ISSLS was founded with the aim of bringing together the world's foremost experts to deepen our understanding of the lumbar spine. Over these fifty years, the society has played a pivotal role in developing new therapies, disseminating knowledge, and improving the quality of life for millions of people suffering from spinal issues.

With its rich history, culture, and vibrant atmosphere, Milan is a perfect backdrop for this milestone event. This city has long been a hub of creativity and innovation, and we hope you'll find inspiration in its beauty and charm.

During your time here, you'll have the opportunity to engage with leading researchers, clinicians, and professionals worldwide. Together, we will explore the latest developments in lumbar spine research, share insights, and forge connections that will shape the future of this field.

As we convene for this special occasion, let us remember the importance of collaboration, open dialogue, and the pursuit of excellence. Together, we can make significant strides in improving the lives of those affected by lumbar spine conditions.

Once again, welcome to this historic 50th Anniversary celebration of ISSLS in Milan. May your time here be filled with enlightening discussions, cultural experiences, and lasting memories. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable journey.

Warm regards,

Fabio Zaina, MD and Stefano Negrini MD, PhD
