NSpine Limited is responsible for the content of Spinal Frontiers, as provider, also on behalf of NSpine GmbH. Editor-in-Chief, with editorial responsibility: Dr. med. habil. Bronek Boszczyk.

Spinal Frontiers is an editorial publication of NSpine Limited. NSpine runs courses that are supported by medical device companies; these companies have no influence on what Spinal Frontiers covers. See About & editorial policy.

NSpine strives to be comprehensive in the information it provides, but reserves the right to decide which companies, products, organisations and items appear, and how the site is structured. Listings are a selection made at NSpine's editorial discretion and are not exhaustive. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and omission implies nothing.

Spinal Frontiers links to journals, patent offices, registries, manufacturers and other websites. We check links when we publish them but are not responsible for the content of external sites. If you find a link to unlawful or outdated content, please tell us at spinalfrontiers@nspine.com and we will remove or correct it.

Information only

Spinal Frontiers is an information service for healthcare professionals, researchers and the spine industry. Nothing on this website, in the weekly alert or in the NSpine newsletter is medical, clinical, legal, regulatory, financial or investment advice, and none of it replaces the professional judgement of the reader. Using Spinal Frontiers does not create a doctor–patient, adviser–client or any other professional relationship.

Third-party sources, not our opinion

Almost everything on Spinal Frontiers summarises or links to material published by others: journals, patent offices, trial registries, regulators, guideline bodies, manufacturers, employers, societies and event organisers. Summaries are written in our own words from those sources and do not represent the opinion, recommendation or endorsement of NSpine Limited or NSpine GmbH. Comments by guest editors are their own views. Always read the original source, and for any product the manufacturer's instructions for use, before relying on any item.

No claim to completeness

NSpine strives to be comprehensive in the information it provides, but reserves the right to decide which companies, products, organisations and items appear, and how the site is structured. Listings are a selection and are not exhaustive; inclusion is not an endorsement, and omission implies nothing. We do not guarantee that any information is complete, accurate or up to date, and it may change without notice.

Products, devices and techniques

Spinal Frontiers does not test, approve, recommend or warrant any implant, instrument, software, technique, drug, supplement or other product, and accepts no responsibility for the safety, effectiveness or use of any product or method mentioned. Regulatory status, recalls and safety notices are reported as published by the regulator or manufacturer at the time; always check the current position with the regulator, the manufacturer and your own institution. Patents describe what an applicant claims; a patent is not a regulatory approval and does not mean that a product is safe, effective or available.

Prices, markets and jobs

Share prices, company news and market information are for general information only and are not an offer, solicitation or recommendation to buy or sell any security. Job, fellowship, funding and event details are taken from the advertiser or organiser; check them with that organisation before applying, travelling or paying.

External websites

Links to other websites are provided for convenience. We check links when we publish them but have no control over external sites and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or security. If you find a link to unlawful or outdated content, please tell us at spinalfrontiers@nspine.com and we will remove or correct it.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, NSpine Limited and NSpine GmbH, and their directors, staff, editors, guest editors and contributors, accept no liability for any loss or damage of any kind, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from the use of, or reliance on, Spinal Frontiers or any website linked from it. The website is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Liability that cannot be excluded

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, for intent and gross negligence, and for injury to life, body or health. Where German law applies, liability for slight negligence is limited to breaches of essential contractual obligations and to the damage that was typical and foreseeable. Some jurisdictions, including some US states, do not allow certain exclusions of warranties or liability, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest extent the law allows.

Applicable law

This disclaimer and any dispute about Spinal Frontiers are governed by the law of England and Wales, without affecting any mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live.
