Menger Accepted Into Premier Scoliosis Society

 Dr. Richard Menger, chief of complex spine surgery, associate professor of neurosurgery and vice chair of neurosurgery at USA Health, was accepted into the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) as an active fellow. Menger is currently the only active fellow of SRS in the Mobile area and one of five full members in Alabama. SRS is an international society founded in 1966 with 37 members. It has gained recognition as a premier spine society that maintains a commitment to research and education in the field of spinal deformities. Current membership includes more than 1,600 of the world’s leading spine surgeons, researchers, physician assistants and orthotists involved in research and treatment of spinal deformities. Active fellowship is limited to orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and to non-physician members of allied specialties. To become an active fellow, a surgeon must dedicate 20% of their practice to spinal deformity, have made a significant contribution to spinal problems and successfully completed a three- to five-year candidate fellowship in the society.
