Kerun China: Pioneering the Future | The Minimally Invasive Spinal Innovation Forum and Vertebral Augmentation Angled Technique Symposium—Northwest-Gansu Station Successfully Held

In the height of summer, a grand event is held, and distinguished guests are warmly welcomed at the foot of Kongtong Mountain. The “Kerun China: Leading the Future” Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery Innovation Forum and the Cornering Technique Symposium on Vertebroplasty—Northwest–Gansu Station—was successfully convened on July 24, 2021, at the Guangcheng Grand Hotel in Pingliang City. This symposium brought together renowned spinal surgery experts from across the Northwest region to deliver keynote lectures and academic presentations, engaging in in-depth discussions on minimally invasive spinal techniques and the cornering technique in vertebroplasty, sharing insights into this innovative approach, and exchanging clinical experience.

Professor Liang Jianke from the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu Medical College served as the chair of this symposium and salon. Director Yang from the Pingliang Municipal Health Commission, Professor Qian Jixian from Tangdu Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University, Professor Zhang Hui from Gansu Provincial People’s Hospital, and Professor Gao Guodong from the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were invited as special guests to deliver keynote lectures. In addition, Professors Gao Jianqiang from the First People’s Hospital of Huating City, Wang Shigang from the People’s Hospital of Zhuanglang County, Li Xiaohui from the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu Medical College, Liu Kang from the People’s Hospital of Qingyang City, Zhang Junping from the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu Medical College, Li Chongxin from the Qingyang Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dou Hailong from the First People’s Hospital of Huating City, Su Jianhua from the Pingliang Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with numerous other spinal surgery experts from the Longdong region, attended the symposium to deliver presentations and engage in discussions.

Professor Liang Jianke from the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu Medical College, Director Yang of the Pingliang Municipal Health Commission, and Mr. Ma Yan, General Manager of Ningbo Huake Run Company, each delivered opening remarks at this symposium. Professor Liang Jianke emphasized that vertebroplasty is a crucial procedure in the field of minimally invasive spinal surgery, and that the angled-puncture technique offers significant advantages, including low puncture risk, uniform distribution of bone cement, a low incidence of cement leakage, and shortened operative time, thereby playing a profound role in alleviating patients’ pain and enhancing the efficacy and efficiency of surgical treatment.

Director Yang of the Pingliang Municipal Health Commission extended warm congratulations on the successful convening of this symposium, expressed high appreciation for Ningbo Huake Run Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for organizing the event, and expressed the hope that more high-quality academic activities will be held in Pingliang in the future.

In his address, Mr. Ma Yan, General Manager of Huake Run, expressed sincere gratitude to the distinguished professors and experts for their attendance, and outlined the company’s development vision and remarkable achievements, including its current growth trajectory, core products, the establishment of its “3+1” strategic track, and the organization of academic conferences.

The first session, “Seeking the Way at Kongtong,” was chaired by Professor Liang Jianke. Professor Qian Jixian delivered a keynote address on “Clinical Applications of Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery,” providing a detailed overview of the various clinical surgical techniques that have emerged in China’s minimally invasive spine field over the past two decades. Professor Zhang Hui presented on “Modified Angled Percutaneous Balloon Kyphoplasty for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Lumbar Vertebral Compression Fractures in Elderly Patients,” emphasizing the advantages of the angled balloon compared with the conventional balloon. In his presentation on “Angled Percutaneous Vertebroplasty (PCVP) for the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures,” Professor Gao Guodong shared several clinical cases and summarized his experience in clinical application. Meanwhile, Professor Sun Dongping, starting from “A Case Analysis of Postoperative Recurrence Following Endoscopic Spinal Surgery,” examined the respective strengths and limitations of endoscopic spinal surgery versus traditional open surgery.

The thematic session on “Morning Glow over Xiangshan” was moderated by Professors Gao Guodong, Gao Jianqiang, and Wang Shigang. Professors Li Xiaohui, Liu Kang, Zhang Junping, Li Chongxin, Dou Hailong, and Su Jianhua each delivered presentations titled “Clinical Experience with Minimally Invasive Spinal Techniques,” “Surgical Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis,” “Sharing Insights on the Application of Angled Vertebroplasty,” “Case Sharing on Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery,” “A Comparative Study of the Efficacy of Angled Vertebroplasty versus Traditional PVP in the Treatment of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures,” and “Lumbar Disc Herniation,” respectively. These presentations focused on minimally invasive spinal techniques, drawing on detailed clinical cases to share practical insights into the clinical application of such techniques and the specific use of angled vertebroplasty.

Professor Zhang Hui, Professor Li Xiaohui, and Professor Liu Kang served as the moderators for the “Sunrise over Wutai” thematic session. This session featured a focused presentation on “The Application of Vertebral Body Plasty Angulation Techniques,” during which several orthopedic experts from the Longdong region shared their clinical experience based on their own practice.

During the seminar, Mr. Zhao Xiaosheng from the Marketing Department of China Resources Science & Technology Co., Ltd. provided a detailed introduction to the company’s flagship products, including the angled vertebral body plasty device, the angled kyphoplasty device, acrylic bone cement, and single-use endoscopic surgical electrodes. He also delivered engaging demonstrations—featuring video presentations and on-site workshops—to clearly explain the proper techniques for using these products and highlight key safety considerations.

During the discussion session, key topics such as “prevention and management of complications in vertebroplasty,” “technical essentials of unilateral puncture,” and “postoperative recovery following kyphoplasty with angulated balloon dilation” drew particular attention. The experts in attendance unanimously agreed that angulated kyphoplasty, when used to treat osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, offers mutually beneficial outcomes for patients, physicians, and the procedure itself.

The “Kerun China: Pioneering the Future” Minimally Invasive Spinal Innovation Forum and Corner-Technique Vertebroplasty Symposium—Northwest–Gansu Station successfully made its way to Northwest China. The event featured keynote lectures, case discussions, and live surgical demonstrations, offering an in-depth exploration of the application of innovative techniques such as corner-technique vertebroplasty in spinal surgery. The rich program and vibrant atmosphere of discussion were unanimously praised by all attending experts. Upholding a corporate culture characterized by innovation, passion, efficiency, meticulousness, and joy, Huake Run will continue to forge ahead with the determination to blaze new trails, the bold spirit of pioneering, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge, while remaining committed to practical action and continuous breakthroughs that will usher in a new era of orthopedic development.
