Fellowships
The purpose of AOSpine fellowships is to provide additional experience in AO techniques for fully trained orthopedic and neurosurgeons and any AOSpine members interested in spinal surgery.

An AOSpine fellowship familiarizes surgeons with principles, indications, planning, techniques, and complications in the areas of spinal surgery performed in the AO clinic that they visited.
