Webinar: Failed Back Syndrome: Why Pelvic Incidence & Sagittal Balance is Key
Even after procedures with the best spinal surgeons patients may experience Failed Back Syndrome (FBS). Spinal surgery can be up to 95% successful, however, with symptoms ranging from a constant dull ache to a stabbing or shooting sensation, it is important to understand what to look out for in the 5% who may experience FBS, and how we can help alleviate the pain.
Consultant Complex Spinal Surgeon, Mr Darren Lui, will be joining us for this interactive webinar to explore the intricacies of why spinal fusion surgery often fails, and why the pelvic incidence and sagittal balance is key. We will be discussing how it permeates all aspects of spinal pathology and what can be done to help your patients.
This event is available to purchase on-demand and was first delivered on Thursday 15th April 2021. Once you've purchased the course, you can watch it immediately from your Oryon Develop dashboard by logging into your account.
We will be first understanding what Failed Back Syndrome is in its various forms, and how it appears often in the case of spinal fusion surgery. This will include an investigation into sagittal balance and coronal balance, where we will learn about why the parameters are so important.
Conservative management techniques, such as activity modification, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), corticosteroid injections and physical therapy, will be examined as a course of action. When these fail, however, surgical approaches may be necessary, and we will be looking at when to refer onto Mr Lui. He will be delving into anterior reconstruction, posterior reconstruction and osteotomies, as well as minimally invasive techniques and robotic procedures.
From a multidisciplinary or MDT perspective, we will be considering how healthcare practitioners can work together to prevent further pain for the patient and reach a successful outcome.
If Failed Back Syndrome is holding your patients back, join us for this fascinating webinar to find out more!

Darren Lui
Consultant Complex Spinal Surgeon | London
Mr Darren F. Lui is fellowship trained in complex spinal surgery and works in London, UK. He deals with simple spinal problems such as back and leg pain (sciatica) as well as neck and arm pain (brachalgia/radiculopathy). He also deals with the entire breadth of complex spinal problems including deformity, trauma and cancer.
He trained on 3 International Spinal Fellowships: Adelaide and Meath Hospital, Dublin Ireland; Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital and Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong; Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore, London.
He has expertise to approach the spine in 360 degrees from anterior, lateral, oblique and posteriorly. This allows MIS techniques (Navigation and Robotics) to be optimally used to plan bespoke surgery to the patient’s sagittal & coronal parameters.
He specializes in adolescent & paediatric deformity surgery such as scoliosis and kyphosis/Scheuremann’s Disease.
He is an expert in surgical and non-surgical management. He works closely with specialist dealing with conservative management such as Schroth, SEAS and SSPE techniques. He also utilizes bracing where possible in the growing child.
He has a special interest in adult scoliosis, failed back syndrome and revision spinal surgery. One of his sub speciality interests are patients who have had previous surgery who may require very complex revisions. These are the most challenging cases, requiring extensive diagnostic testing, and often multiple revision surgeries but more importantly understanding when nothing further should be done. He works closely with his allied healthcare team to provide the correct rehabilitation.
He has a keen interest in spinal oncology and offers the very most up to date techniques in spinal cancer oligometastatic surgery.
As a surgeon at a Level 1 Trauma Centre he has expertise in severe polytrauma, including spinal fractures, as well as spinal cord injury. He uses the latest technology including spinal navigation for MIS percutaneous surgery as well as Mechanical Kyphoplasty.
His adult practice also incorporates those with back pain or neck pain which can be associated with radicular arm or leg pain. Many of these cases are amenable to minimally invasive or microscopic spinal surgery.
He is very interested in Medical Research and Teaching. He has a large research team at St. George’s Hospital and is an Honorary Senior Lecturer. He has a Masters Degree in Surgery and supervised 4 other Masters Degrees in Science and Surgery. He has 40 Peer Reviewed Publications, authored 167 podium publications and authored 46 posters. Teaching and research allow constant learning.
